GeoAIR and group DontheC started collaboration with the goal of rethinking and analyzing existing problematical issues in the city, such as public space and ecology. Since in the city of Tbilisi exists the “Bethonisation” tendency, the group created mobile garden on the wheels, which transformed public spaces with its mobility, created green areas and offered an interactive environment. The garden was a public space itself and appeared in such places, where active, routine movement was fully present. It created a pause where every passenger was able to go, relax, use the resoures of the garden – library, listen to music, get in touch with contemporary art...
The garden with its existence tried to remind the public about urgent problematical issues:
- Pubilc spaces- utilization, perception, senses, responsibility and right to it
- Ecology – inevitability of green areas and recreational zones and taking care of them
Garden on wheels used to create alternative public spaces in the city, full with contemporary art and pleasant, green environment.
Through this collaboration the project “Garden on the wheels, visiting Eliava” was created.
Garden on the wheels, two mobile boxes, were traveling in the city and looking for places to become the garden, create a green area and platform for contemporary art.
