Tsinandali Estate, a Radisson Collection Hotel, located in Georgia’s picturesque wine region, proudly unveiled its newest art venue, “The Tunnel,” a remarkable exhibition space that will further solidify its position as a cultural hub. This exciting addition to the Georgian art scene signifies a significant step forward in expanding the region’s cultural offer and enhancing the experiences of guests staying at the estate.

The debut exhibition gracing the walls of “The Tunnel” is “Like A Wind At My Back,” a exhibition by the art duo Gogi and Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili.

Like A Wind At My Back is a collaborative exhibition by Gogi and Ketuta Alexi- Meskhishvili. Gogi’s monumental but delicate sculptures and Ketuta’s photographic prints on transparent cotton combine to play with ideas of scenography and shared visual aesthetics.

“ I am thrilled to announce the opening of ‘The Tunnel’, our new exhibition space at Tsinandali Estate. This platform is a testament to our commitment to art, and I eagerly Hope to welcome many Georgian and international artists at the Tunnel in the many years to come. A heartfelt thank you to Gogi and Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili for their magnificent inaugural exhibit, and to all those who contributed to the success of this event.” – George Ramishvili, Founder, Silk Road Group.

The exhibit, open until the end of August, offers Tsinandali Estate’s guests a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich culture and vibrant art scene of the region, all within the peaceful tranquility of the hotel grounds.
