David Chigholashvili

Data (David) Chigholashvili works between social anthropology and contemporary art, exploring connections between them through theoretical research and socially engaged art projects. He is mainly interested in topics concerning visual and urban anthropology, ethnography, socially engaged art practices, public space, migration, foodways, and memory - some of which are usually interconnected in his collaborative work.

Data’s works are strongly related to the specificity of their contexts. Through direct commentary, or subtle forms, he aims to present and question issues of the surroundings, while exploring connections between various disciplines and ways of expression in order to challenge conventional definitions and forms.  

In 2012 Data joined GeoAIR, a contemporary art initiative and residency in Tbilisi, Georgia. He has been working on projects, texts, publications, and talks in Tbilisi and internationally.
