Nino Kvrivishvili

©Tekla Basishvili

Nino Kvrivishvili is a Georgian artist living in Tbilisi, Georgia. She studied textile design at the State Academy of Art in Tbilisi until 2007 and reflects in her artistic work on the history and personal stories in the context of the textile production in her country, which was a central branch of industry in Soviet times. Nino Kvrivishvili interweaves her examination with personal stories from her family and explores the question of how memories can be inscribed in artistic objects. 
Nino Kvrivishvili's works have been shown in exhibitions at the Museum Wäschefabrik in Bielefeld (2021), the Weltkunstzimmer in Düsseldorf (2018) and the State Silk Museum in Tbilisi (2016), among others. She participated in residency programmes of the Museum Kunst der Westküste (2018) on the island of Föhr, of the Frauenkulturbüro NRW e.V. (2018) in Düsseldorf or the KCCC Residency (2014) in Klaipeda, Lithuania.

Hamminkeln

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
