The sixth volume of Study is dedicated to work of Thea Djordjadze.

Thea Djordjadze is a contemporary German-Georgian artist based in Berlin. She is known for sculpture and installations, but also works in a variety of other media (drawing, painting, printing, performance, video, music).

Thea Djordjadze studied at the Academy of Arts in Tbilisi from 19881993. Due to the Georgian Civil War, Djordjadze left the country and became a student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and left after a year for the Staatliche Kunstakademie Dsseldorf. In 2000 she graduated as Meisterschler of Rosemarie Trockel with whom she has since made collaborative works including for the Venice Biennial (2003), Kunsthalle St. Gallen (2006), 11th Lyon Biennial (2007), Sprth Magers Berlin (2017), and Deichtorhallen Hamburg (2019), among others.

Thea Djordjadze works with a wide range of materials such as steel, plaster, wood, aluminum, ceramic, glass, fabrics, foam, cardboard, papier-mch, and found objects. Her sculptures and installations can often be described as assemblages. Her working process is intuitive and informed by influences that reach from art and architecture to design, and literature. It has developed from smaller formats to a comprehensive installation practice that responds to the architectural peculiarities of the respective exhibition space.

Her work has been exhibited around the world, most notably for solo shows at the Gropius-Bau in Berlin, MoMA PS1 in New York, the WIELS in Brussels, the Wiener Secession in Vienna and the Spruth Magers Gallery in Berlin, Los Angles and London.

The issue also includes a fashion insert photographed by Krisztian Eder and styled by Malina Joseph Gilchrist.
