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>

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>
