Using painting, collage, drawing, installation, sculpture and film, Georgian artist Andro Wekua channels personal memories and political history into veiled narratives that vacillate between the ultra-real and dream-like fictions. 2000 Words: Andro Wekua presents the wide array of the artist's work in the Dakis Joannou Collection, along with an essay by Gary Carrion-Murayari that gives voice to this eerie and deeply personal work. Conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni and published by the Deste Foundation, each monograph in the new 2000 Words series combines a critical, forthright essay with a survey of an artist's works and gives insight into the work of some of today's most exciting contemporary artists.
