Clear dichotomy – male / female – exists in Georgian general thinking and while defining gender boundaries, feature chain is marked as “male” and “female”. Unlike the other sociological, political and economic disciplines gender discipline is unknown and exotic for contemporary art in our country. And that’s why it was very interesting to use contemporary art possibilities, space and visual specifications in this field as meaning of structure of creation of idea of mark, text, art production. What does it mean being a male or a female in contemporary art space? What motives induce gender roles for changes: thirst for freedom? How are created male and female masks? Search of new identity? Discord about female’s passive role in society? Does there exist female sphere in the Art? Of course physiology is least interesting in the context of these questions. International discourse that gender is social sex and contemporary art as the form of social expression, was symptomatic concord in our case.

Mobile exhibitions in different regions of Georgia - Bolnisi region, Kakheti, Guria, Akhlatsikhe – referred to exposure of peculiar conceptions of contemporary art, such as biological and social gender, taboo and humanism, cliche and stereotype, body and ideology, representativeness and context. Exhibitions were significant events for the cultural life of these regions. The main thing was not the works themselves that were distinguished by variety of specificities (painting, poster, photo, video, photoobject), but declaration of unification of coordinators, curators, artists, photographers on the basis of ideology by the motto: We are different.

The most important component of the project turned to be creation of 70 minutes experimental video production related to the abovementioned regions. The artists’ authorship-identity was underlined and the documentary film was reviewed as an art production; Sometimes with hard social background or odd history or maybe with ordinary common portraits, towards specific social persons (a man as well as a woman), in micro or macroprojections, objectivism was made on the basis of artistic view of feminity and sensitivity.

So called gender stereotypes exist in every culture. It implies the features related to womanhood and manhood. But in visual space gender – man-woman – loses its global quality, is splinters, divides into parts and mix with each other. Gender, age, birth time and place are easily changed in visual space and talking about actual topics is more convenient with conceptual images.
