Paris Internationale 2024

Presented artists: Ana Gzirishvili and Nina Kintsurashvili

For the 9th edition of Paris Internationale Gallery Artbeat presents duo show by Ana Gzirishvili and Nina Kintsurashvili.

Ana Gzirishvili (born 1992, Tbilisi, Georgia) lives and works in Tbilisi. Ana studied at the Tbilisi Art Academy and was a DAAD scholar and a graduate of the Universität der Künste Berlin, New Media & Film Class.

Gzirishvili’s experimental practice spans installation, sculpture, film, CGI, poetry, and reading performances. Inspired by an object-oriented perspective, she explores the liminal spaces and juncture points between beings, places, and objects, as well as between material and immaterial realms. Often, Gzirishvili’s work draws from themes such as transitionality, circulation, and displacement. By disassembling and reassembling objects and contexts both physically and intangibly, Ana observes the entanglements, incongruences, and hybrid forms that emerge from these interactions. Ana has exhibited her work in Georgia and internationally, including at West den Haag; E.A. Shared Space, Tbilisi; LC Queisser, Tbilisi; Kristina Kite Gallery, Los Angeles, USA; MAXXI, Rome, Italy; and Kopavogur Art Museum, Reykjavík, Iceland, among others.

Nina Kintsurashvili (born 1992) is a Tbilisi based interdisciplinary artist and painter who earned her BFA in painting from The Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and an MFA in Intermedia from The University of Iowa through Fulbright award.

Nina’s works have been exhibited in Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography (Mestia, Georgia), LC Queisser (Tbilisi, Georgia), E.A. Shared Space (Tbilisi, Georgia), Arco Madrid (Madrid, Spain), PS1 Iowa City, Levitt Gallery UofI (Iowa City, US), Ortega y Gasset Projects (NY,US), Everywoman Biennial (London, UK), Ekru Projects (Kansas City, US).
