Hi Breda,
Thank you for the helpful comments.
I do not think of it as a rebellion and I do not want the project to be about Hippie and flower power. This is just one element I though of… Maybe the tanks are too obviously flower power…
But Rainbow is a very interesting scientific phenomena. It carries in itself elements about the place it comes from. So in a sense if there was a rainbow between Newcastle and Tbilisi, a scientist in Newcastle can get to know, by analysing it, something about the particles present in Tbilisi, and vica versa. So in that sense it connects, it is a kind of bridge similar to concept of Imagine Art After. Connection from A to B, making a line, a drawing. Also I am interested in British interest in branching out and connecting, building bridges. Just think about how many of them are in London or Newcastle next to Baltic for that matter. Building bridges is part of British psyche. For Georgians at the present moment it is very important to build realistic bridges with its neighbours and distant friends.
I am talking about creating a satire, a visual narrative that reflects on Georgian (and I am sure not only Georgian) creative peoples’ aspiration for easier travel which I would like to connect and present as a criticism of the present situation with artist visas in the UK. Don’t you think this connects well?
Also, I think humour can play essential role in the project to make it involving.
Looking forward to hearing form you Breda.
