Nata Varazi and Gvantsa Jishkariani Present 'Catalogue of Sensory Data' at Fabrika, Tbilisi

exhibition · 2026-05-05

The Why Not Gallery presents 'Catalogue of Sensory Data', a duo exhibition by Nata Varazi and Gvantsa Jishkariani at Fabrika Project Space in Tbilisi, Georgia. The exhibition proposes an alternative system of classification based on tactile and sensory experience, using materials such as hand-felted wool, marble mosaic, and semi-precious stones. Jishkariani's large felt compositions and mosaic works like 'Curious Gangster' and 'Crystalized Threads of Dusk' explore themes of memory and materiality, while Varazi's marble and gemstone mosaics, including 'Hunger feels like howling at eternity', emphasize slow, deliberate attention. The exhibition is The Why Not Gallery's first collaboration with Fabrika, a converted Soviet-era factory compound. The show runs in 2026.
