"Future will be...​
Today it is particularly difficult to finish this sentence.
The architecture of the future is taking shape today. A group of artists deals with the present in order to get a better idea of ​​the future and to put together a mosaic, a picture of the future based on their own visions.
Time is a very meager resource. Time's running. It doesn't stop. It stubbornly goes forward, into the future, and what you lose never comes back. Every present becomes the past when the future has made itself the present. We don't have much time. Something has to be thought up, said, shared, understood in order to grow up and create something. Inaction means stagnation and lagging behind, being stuck somewhere in the present that has already become the past. Time flies, it doesn't stop.
The global pandemic has also brought new experiences with it, new emotions and new headaches, both physical and mental. Some were better prepared, others were less so. A nebulous uncertainty spread in the already orderly and well-planned projects. Suddenly we landed in a new situation, because the speed of the resettlement of mankind in the digital reality was accelerated enormously. Some went through this process more and others less painfully. The new challenges brought new potential with them.
Georgia seems lost. It hardly understands its previous steps and the next ones are mostly determined by chance. It stumbles again and again and has a hard time making decisions. The future is correspondingly aimless and planless. The potential of individual and societal thought has been held in check for years. We seem to have escaped the cultural vacuum and stagnation, we seem to have freed ourselves from it, but now we're going in circles for that. Our country is trying to catch his tail.

"The best time to plant trees was yesterday, the next best time is today." Time is still ticking.
Artists explore the potential of the present and determine the future from their own perspective. What is the “now and here” that takes place and makes itself present? How is the change taking place from today to tomorrow? Is there and will there be this change or not at all? Is there a future at all? The being of not being could also be a variant of the future. Maybe the future is much better? And what does better actually mean?
Exciting what artists feel here and there, how they see their own future and that of their country or humanity in general from a social, political and philosophical point of view. The future has not yet become the present, but the future is being created in the present."
