Guest of Nature – Friedensreich Hundertwasser Exhibition in the Wild Nature of Krtsanisi Park
An outdoor exhibition of the extraordinary Austrian artist and environmentalist Friedensreich Hundertwasser is presented at Krtsanisi Park. It officially opened on 5 June 2021. The exhibition will stay open to the public throughout June and July and will host events every Monday and Thursday.
"Come and immerse yourself in the world of the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser and experience his ecological vision. Let us introduce you to his idea of spiral continuity expressed in unique multicolored, non-straight, vibrant, and circular shapes and lines. Stroll through the park while learning more about the actions being taken in Georgia today in order to turn the artist´s vision into a reality: the exhibition not only displays the beautiful art of Hundertwasser but also showcases the work of the Austrian Development Cooperation and its partners.
The Krtsanisi Forest Park is a brilliant synthesis of Hundertwasser’s philosophy and symbolizes our close connection to nature, a central theme of the artist’s work.
Feel like a true “Guest of Nature”, while you explore the surrounding authentic flora and fauna, discover Krtsanisi’s biodiversity, and reflect on the need to protect the earth’s fragile beauty.
The exhibition is an initiative by the Austrian Embassy in Georgia and the Austrian Development Cooperation with the kind cooperation of the Hundertwasser Foundation in Vienna and curated by Mariam Shergelashvili. Special thanks go to Austria’s longstanding partners: The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia, the National Wildlife Agency, and CENN.", is written in the description of the event.
