Frozen Moments. Architecture Speaks Back
Organisation: The Other Space Foundation
Countries: Poland
The concept for the book "Frozen Moments. Architecture Speaks Back. On performative architecture based on Georgian and Armenian exemple” follows an internationally recognized exhibition and conference of the same title in Tbilisi, Georgia, in July 2010. The book presents the most interesting reflections of the heritage of social-realism in the Caucasus, and discusses new ideas on actions in public space. It wants to expand the already initiated debates on modernism in the post-communist countries. The book attracts attention of the European milieus of architects, artists, curators and art-journalists to the uniqueness of this and so many other heterotopic places in the Caucasus; expands the debate on the heritage of the modernism in the post-communistic countries; indicates the originality of their modernistic and organic architecture. It is, on the one hand, presentation of the most interesting reflections on the heritage of social-realism in the Caucasus, and on the other hand - the reflection on the subjects of new ideas on actions in public space. It stimulates inter-milieu and international dialogue on art, local heritage and enormous potential of the Caucasian art scene.
