2000 WORDS: ANDRO WEKUA

Using painting, collage, drawing, installation, sculpture, and film, Georgian artist Andro Wekua channels personal memories and political history into veiled narratives that vacillate between the ultra-real and dream-like fictions. 2000 Words: Andro Wekua presents the wide array of the artist’s work in the Dakis Joannou Collection, along with an essay by Gary Carrion-Murayari that gives voice to this eerie and deeply personal work. Conceived by Massimiliano Gioni and published by the DESTE Foundation, each monograph in the new 2000 Words series combines a critical, forthright essay with a survey of an artist’s works, providing insight into the work of some of today’s most exciting contemporary artists.
