Since 2023 Chaos Concept Store has devoted a pop-up space for emerging art scene of Tbilisi, supporting newly graduated artists and students in their final years of study across Georgia. Chaos Junk Space is the inaugural exhibition of the artists exhibited through-out the years showcasing newly commissioned and pre-existing works by the artists from the programme at a Tbilisi private apartment.
‘Junkspace’ as a state of undifferentiated chaos, idea originally developed by architect Rem Koolhaas and later debated by artist Robert Smithon, art critic Hal Foster and others, became the premise of the curatorial decisions to exhibit otherwise distinct artistic positions.
Exhibited artists’s reflect upon various subjects, echoing: ecology, sexuality, gender identity, geo-politics, multiculturalism and other. Curated by Salome Dumbadze and Nini Nebieridze “Chaos Junk Space”creates a space for reflection occupying a historical building without aggressive invasion, rather peaceful coexistence with chaos and its various understandings. Junkspace is not meant to last, in a state of flux it creates perpetual addition to the existing (dis)order.
Salome Dumbadze is an artist and co-curator of Tbilisi’s recent series of apartment exhibitions: Five Room Flat (2022) and Six Room Flat (2024).
Nini Nebieridze is the founder of Chaos Concept Store and curator of independent project spaces, including house project The Hancock in New York City and Bookstore in Tbilisi. For several years, she has been actively engaged in the evolving intersections of Tbilisi’s art and fashion scenes.
