'Archidrome' Contemporary Art Archive is database that brings the projects and artists’ works together. By doing this we aim to create an overview that allows people to see the connections in what has been done so far in the Caucasus region, and enables them to draw conclusions and set further directions from it. This lively database/archive will contain images, writings, DVD’s, films, postcards, sound recordings etc. All the information will also be registered on the blog and later on a website.
There are several projects being organized in the Caucasus region and some art spaces are being opened up. However, news of these events is rarely communicated in time and people are not reliably informed about what is and has been going on.
The space will also serve as a presentation room where regular meetings, discussions and presentations will take place. We will regularly invite local or the visiting professionals for lectures and presentations that concern the cultural events in the region.
It is about making a place where people can come and see creations, knowledge, experience and ideas that originate or are to be found in the Caucasus. It is like opening a window that gives you the opportunity to look into this field. Something like this is missing, and because of this the region is invisible to itself and to the rest of the world.
