CH64 Gallery Gallery in Tbilisi

Editorial Profile

CH64 Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Tbilisi’s Vake area, positioned around a focused group of Georgian artists rather than a broad commercial roster. Its program can be read through artists such as Niniko Morbedadze, Gvantsa Jishkariani, Mishiko Sulakauri, Sandro Pachuashvili, and Tiko Imnadze, whose practices move across painting, marble mosaic, steel objects, installation, photography, and materially driven image-making. Rather than presenting a single stylistic line, the gallery seems to foreground works that translate questions of memory, folklore, post-Soviet identity, landscape, and social transformation into compact but conceptually charged exhibition formats. Shows such as Where to?, 1 : 10000, NO ATMs YET, and 608 suggest a program attentive to both narrative figuration and object-based experimentation, often connecting personal or local references to broader cultural conditions.

Within contemporary art in Tbilisi, CH64 contributes to a younger gallery ecology that is helping Georgian artists circulate beyond a strictly local audience. Its activity is not limited to the gallery space: presentations at NADA New York, NADA Miami, Abu Dhabi Art, SCOPE Art Show, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, and Frieze No.9 Cork Street indicate a clear international orientation, especially around artists from Tbilisi and the wider Georgian scene. In this sense, it operates as one of the galleries in Tbilisi connecting emerging and mid-career Georgian practices with art-fair platforms, pop-up exhibitions, and transnational networks, while still remaining closely tied to the visual languages and cultural questions shaping the city’s current artistic production.
