The notion of a “public space” together with an “Art in a public space”, has acquired a new significance in the last period worldwide. The word “public” means democracy, and includes “clearness”, “openness”, “involvement”, “participation” and “responsibilities” not only from the governmental side towards people, but between people in general as well.
Discourse about Art in a public space, is not only definition of the word public, but it is also realization of the idea of democracy.

The exhibition project “undergo the parallels” has to be held in about 10 underground passages of Tbilisi, images can be seen under:  https://picasaweb.google.com/Infogeoair/UndergoTheParallels?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCL–5rnw8uGFdQ&feat=directlink.

An exhibition project “undergo. the parallels” will take place in Tbilisi pedestrian underground passages. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, these underground passages have experienced different stages of existence: first they were completely abandoned and became dangerous places of muggings and robbery. The outcome of this was that people entered them more and more seldom, choosing to cross streets loaded with traffic arbitrarily, which led to a significant death toll. Later, these undergrounds became places where alternative, unofficial selling points arose. The more efficient sellers developed kiosks, shops, gambling places etc. Some of these underground passageways developed their own life, parallel to ”normal” city life in the open air. These passages somehow turned into spaces of meeting and communicating, the youth are gathering in gambling houses, some musicians and students meet to play and listen to the music, the shop keepers are in close contact with the passengers and potential customers.
