National Gallery Presents Rocko Imerashvili’s Multimedia Project ‘Buffer Intervals’
Buffer Intervals is Rocko Iremashvili’s multimedia project, comprehended in the global context. It is dedicated to the eternal problem – to a human’s freedom and to overcoming obstacles and barriers that perpetually come across him while speeding to that space of freedom.
When the leading to the freedom collides with art, we may meet with the themes without any substance that are used to the advantage of manipulation, and they may act as a counteraction as well, for the existed space is being crushed between them. The images created in the limits of the “Buffer Intervals’’ point out the risks of the manipulation by means of the “freedom’’ themes.
At the same time, art may serve as a shield which is used by artist to beat off the blows set against his personal freedom, and like a buffer, it does not allow the harmful power to violate and converts it into the useful experience by means of reflective actions.
The exhibition project “Buffer Intervals’’ offered by Rocko Iremashvili is a logical continuation of his creative vision. It is a process-metaphor created by multimedia accents, which always brings forth new sacramental images. It is the same form that lets appear a unique manner of the artist – a visual integrated by different media, which allows to represent sharply the concrete thematic in the existed entity.
Being according to Parmenides is like a sphere within which everything is equally distanced from the center and nothing exists beside this sphere. If we imagine this sphere of being as an area of freedom of art ad transform it into the inspirator of the conception of the exhibition, it will be understood that ,,being’’ for artist is a synonym of freedom, and it fully agrees with the relations between an artist and art.
Being eager to form such ideal creative space called “Buffer Intervals’’. This kind of exhibition will largely contribute to integration of the contemporary art language into the society, to breaking the wall between the “elite art’’ art and the society and to conducting a dialogue between them.
