Take Ninagawa is pleased to announce Thea Djordjadze’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, “Badly Built.”
Born in 1971 in Tbilisi and based in Berlin, Djordjadze is known for her experimental practice that blurs the lines between painting, sculpture, and site-specific installation. For “Badly Built,” she will transform the gallery through an immersive architectural intervention made with fast-acting materials including clay, linen, plaster, and wood. Produced entirely in situ, the installation reflects the artist’s intuitive creative process, which is grounded in bodily readings of space, and her poetic development of the exhibition as a medium in itself.
Djordjadze’s work is concurrently on view in a solo exhibition at Hamburger Kunsthalle through October 5, 2025.
