city [un]archived publication

<p> Tbilisi InSights collective is currently working on a publication together with Onomatopee (Eindhoven, Netherlands) as a result of 18 months of collaboration on questions of <em>personal, unintentional archives of those living within Tbilisi’s architecture</em> and <em>structures set in an inadequate dichotomy of private and public spaces</em> but not only.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Together with eight contributions, our<em> publication continues a discussion which had its starting point in Tbilisi, Georgia, but which from the beginning did not focus on this one respective locality only.</em></p> <p>  </p> <p> The publication <em>city [un]archived</em> will be printed in 750 copies in October 2015 and launched on October 29, 2015 at Onomatopee's project space in Eindhoven, Netherlands.</p> <p> An additional publication launch is planned for Tbilisi in December 2015, if our crowdfunding campaign exceeds its goal.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10628039_10152318219591712_1145552627676646652_n-1441567078" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/229093/10628039_10152318219591712_1145552627676646652_n-1441567078.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> Tbilisi InSights collective consists of four Tbilisi based members: Public Space with a Roof artist Tamuna Chabashvili, anthropologist Data Chigholashvili, architect and Tbilisi Moare researcher Gvantsa Nikolaishvili &amp; artist and Concept and Theory-Tbilisi founder Katharina Stadler.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Tbilisi InSights presented the Informal Archive at Gallery Nectar in Tbilisi in autumn 2014 and in Yerevan in spring 2015.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="10636756_10152784126847372_543851581428372280_o-1441567125" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/229094/10636756_10152784126847372_543851581428372280_o-1441567125.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="P1270180-1441567151" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/229095/P1270180-1441567151.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="P1270227-1441567269" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/229096/P1270227-1441567269.JPG"></p> <p>  </p> <p> The city [un]archived contributors are Tamuna Chabashvili | Data Chigholashvili | Lado Darakhvelidze | Nini Palavandishvili | Katharina Stadler | Giorgi Tabatadze | Sophia Tabatadze | Tbilisi Moare</p> <p>  </p> <p> Design: Bardhi Haliti</p> <p>  </p> <p> Read more about the Tbilisi InSights project:</p> <p> <a href="http://tbilisiinsights.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">www.tbilisiinsights.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p> <a href="http://onomatopee.net" target="_blank">www.onomatopee.net</a></p> <p>  </p> <p> [all reward images used here are screenshots from E.

Allocation of funds

<p> We first presented our project at Gallery Nectar in Tbilisi in October 2014, made possible through our own finances and support from family, friends and colleagues.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Last November we received positive funding news from Arts Collaboratory/DOEN Foundation. This € 15.000 grant was essential for the continuation of our project in Tbilisi, the collaboration in Yerevan and the publication and discursive exhibition planned for this October/November with Onomatopee in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, as well as for the additional publication connected events in Rotterdam and Amsterdam:</p> <p>  </p> <p> - € 3.500 for the archive production and public/private space interventions.</p> <p> - € 5.000 for the collaboration in Yerevan, Armenia in March/April 2015.</p> <p> - € 6.500 for our publication city [un]archived and the discursive exhibition with Onomatopee in Eindhoven in October/November 2015.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The third, publication related part (€ 6.500) is meant to cover the following:</p> <p> - honoraria for contributors, proofreaders, designer (€ 2.600)</p> <p> - travel and accommodation for eight contributors (€ 3.300)</p> <p> - printing costs (€ 3.200)</p> <p>  </p> <p> Despite Arts Collaboratory/DOEN Foundation's generous funding and an additional € 700 Step Beyond Travel Grant, the printing costs for our publication have not fully been secured. Therefore we need your help!</p> <p>  </p> <p> This is not just another call for crowdfunding, but an attempt of a collaborative process to share various materials and insights of the Tbilisi InSights project with you, both through being able to print our publication and through our rewards!</p>
