Created to engage the public in interaction with contemporary art, Window Project is an ever-moving public art space located in the vacant shop windows of Tbilisi, Georgia. The ongoing exhibition will last until a space becomes available [tenanted] to show the works of international and regional contemporary artists, often showcasing established artists alongside emerging local talent. An inspiration for Irina Popiashvili and Tamuna Gvaberidze for Window Project’s show of O, Moda, Moda, became a very distinct sense of style and design that is conveyed in the interior design of the cafe/concept store. These mixed styles and particularly mismatched chairs that one sees in the cafe became an inspiration for the project. The mismatched restored and re-upholstered chairs of O, Moda, Moda lined up against the background of a two-colored painted wall that resembles an old classroom can be interpreted as a design-portrait of Tbilisi today: chairs from different eras, some from famous designers, some from old soviet offices, all standing next to each other and presenting the face of the city.
