In the framework of SUPERMARKET 2014 – Stockholm Independent Art Fair GeoAIR was presenting itself in collaboration with artist-run Gallery Nectar. GeoAIR is an artist-run interdisciplinary initiative in Georgia which collaborates with many different institutions, initiatives, individuals working in or affiliated with the field or contemporary art. On one hand, our collaborations are always depending on the context we are working in and on the other hand, through changing locations and venues for our actions we try to get connected and promote these locations. Also for Supermarket we worked in collaboration with Nectar Gallery, relatively new and interesting space in Tbilisi, which promotes and supports contemporary non-mainstream, regional and outsider art. Gallery also acts as supporter and promoter of best examples of different disciplines of contemporary art practices from Georgia and abroad.
In addition to the exhibition, the event included a seminar programme, a performance art stage and a meeting programme for networking. As well as TALKS - the seminar programme with artist talks, screenings, debates and discussions about art and society. This year, the theme was 'Differences'.
Nini Palavandishvili from GeoAIR was participating in panel discussion with a topic:
Life Beyond Budgets – a panel discussion about alternative financial strategies.
