Zauri Matikashvili's First Institutional Solo Show at Kunsthalle Münster
Kunsthalle Münster is hosting Zauri Matikashvili's inaugural institutional solo exhibition, titled 'You may not want to be here', which runs until September 13, 2026. This exhibition showcases the debut of his two-channel installation 'Passing the Glass' (2026), along with earlier works such as 'In Katernberg' (2022) and 'Made in Europe' (2023). A sculptural series, also named 'You may not want to be here' (since 2024), features objects that interact with these films. Matikashvili's art reflects on modern narratives, delving into themes of identity, gender, segregation, and repression amid a backdrop of social inequality and democratic erosion, with a recent emphasis on family and the socio-political landscape of Georgia, utilizing materials like ceramic and metal to create a sense of unease.
