Edi Hila | Thea Djordjadze is a cross-generational double exhibition of two important artists from Albania and Georgia, both countries with a communist past linked to the Soviet Union and the history of Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
Thea Djordjadze was born in 1971 in Tbilisi, Georgia. She was still a student of fine arts when the country was the first to declare its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, after which a two-year civil war broke out. She continued her education in Western Europe. After a period at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, she moved to Germany, which had just been reunified. She studied at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf before moving to Berlin, where she has lived since the mid-2000s.
Thea Djordjadze's experimental artistic practice is based on an enlightened intuition. Djordjadze's sculptures and environments emerge from the artist's intense engagement with the active and latent energies of a space, using a variety of materials in assemblages of unique poetry. Her works are created in a process that responds to the particular site, sometimes reflexively, sometimes as an immediate reaction to the given conditions. Images, forms and ideas from literature, design, painting, architecture - especially, but not only, from modernism - often flow into Djordjadze's work and leave an imprint like an echo of the artist's encounter with them.
Thea Djordjadze will create a new body of work for the Hamburger Kunsthalle that offers viewers a spatial, physical and psychological experience. The artist will not only scrutinise the formal and material qualities of the building, but also its situational context.
