It is a rare artist in the world that can give such a rich characters with such a laconic technique and this is evident in every detail or in the paintings as a whole. And he has his own system or method which characterises only great painters and it is the basis of his unique world. When you look for instance to Briegel you see that it is his unique world or the world of Cezanne, or Van Gogh. Pirosmanishvili has his unique world too.

15. SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Maka Tarkhan-Mouravi, Art critic:
Pirosmani is unique and once you see him is impossible mix up with anyone else. And also he is so Georgian and rooted in Georgian culture that it is impossible to question his origins. Traditions of Georgian medieval fresco paining are very strong in his art. But also what is very significant in Pirosmani is himself, a self-taught artist living in Tbilisi not knowing processes of the European modernist art intuitively is solving the same problems and is very contemporary to his time.

The largest exhibition of the works of Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani has opened to great acclaim in the country's National Art Gallery in the capital Tbilisi.
STORYLINE:
This painting of a fox is one of 108 paintings from the museum's collection and from private collections which make up the exhibition of the art of Niko Pirosmani, also known as Niko Pirosmanashvili.
The exhibition celebrates 150 years since the birth of one of Georgia's most famous artists.
Without any formal education in art Pirosmani created his own unique painting style and painting techniques. He is known as a primitivist painter.
His paintings are characterised by a naive, childlike simplicity of image.
Art critic Gogi Khoshtaria says Pirosmani views the world in a singular way.
To financially survive Pirosmani did many jobs including working as an animal herdsman and a railroad conductor.
He also painted murals on walls in many taverns in the capital.
Art critic Maka Tarkhan-Mouravi says his work is very strongly rooted in his homeland.
Pirosmani had a romantic encounter with French actress known as Margarita, a story which has become like legend in Georgia.

10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dimitry Shashkin, Georgia's Minister of Education (AUDIO AS INCOMING)
The President of Georgia has initiated the new programme teaching... and in frames of this programme today one hundred more teachers from United States of America, from Canada, Great Britain, Ireland and Australia arrived to Georgia in order to be volunteers and work with our teachers in Georgian schools to teach Georgian children English language. It's a very important programme for us because on the one hand we are tremendously increasing the level of education of English in our schools and on the other hand we are helping our teachers to increase their qualifications.

Learning any new language is always going to be a challenge, so it's not easy, but they're doing great so far. It's only day two and I don't know if you of saw the classroom they've already picked up on the lesson very quickly, very quickly. It will be a challenge, but I'm up for it.
20. Medium close of children sitting at desks in the classroom
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Danielle Baker, English Teacher:
I do think it will achieve it's goal, yes and with us teachers helping the other teachers they have some communication skills so we are able to help them with pronunciation and any other things that they're looking for. We're just an extra resource for them, but like I said the children are smart so they're really picking it up on their own too.

I think that this programme has three problems. Firstly, it is very expensive, secondly its results can't be sustained, and thirdly it is not very well organised. The salary for all of those who are participating totals 6 million lari (3.2 million dollars). To (compare) how great an amount this figure is for our system (of education) I can say that last year the government spent (just) 2 million lari (1.09 million dollars) to train foreign language teachers (as well as all the) maths and Georgian teachers.

LEAD IN:
Tens of thousands of language teachers are being recruited by Georgian schools in an ambitious plan to enable every child to speak fluent English.

First-ever Tbilisi Art Fair aims to boost Georgia's art market
(21 May 2018) LEADIN:
The first-ever Tbilisi Art Fair (TAF) is aiming to boost Georgia's national art market.
Organisers say the Caucasus country boasts an authentic, colourful art scene, but its inner art market is almost non-existent.
STORYLINE:
The first-ever international Tbilisi Art Fair (TAF 2018) is being held in the Georgian capital.
The focus is on discovering Georgia's vibrant art world, as well as showcasing well-established and emerging artists.
Various artists from around the world are presenting their works during the four-day showcase.
Organisers say they've brought together about 30 galleries and 40 independent artists.
French artist Louis Rollinde is presenting his latest work, called 'Exoframes.'
Rollinde created these geometric frames especially for the fair.
They're intended to illustrate the diversity of processes taking part in Georgia's art scene.
Organisers say the goal of Tbilisi Art Fair is to support the creation and development of a modern art market in Georgia and the South Caucasus.
Initially TAF was intended to showcase artists just from the Caucasus region, but boundaries grew, and the exhibit swelled to over 300 works by artists from around the world.
We think that in Georgia there is a potential to transform Tbilisi into the regional art centre, and the aim of this exhibition was to put emphasis on our creative potential, says art fair organiser Nino Gamrekeli.
We have (a) very authentic, colourful artistic world with many interesting painters and artists, but (the) inner art market does not exist or is underdeveloped, and our aim was to make this market more actual and live.
French artist Francois Durif says he took inspiration from Georgian film-maker Otar Iosseliani's work for this performance work, named 'White Cardboard Boxes.'
The aim, he says, is to test the imagination of his audience.
I project these boxes empty, but emptiness is not nothing, says Durif.
You can imagine what is inside.
Georgian artist Uta Bekaia mainly works in the United States and Europe, but has created this site-specific installation, called 'Inhabitants of Childhood,' as part of the fair.
For Bekaia, these mystical creatures symbolise a return to his childhood, which was spent not far from the art fair's venue.
They are kind of these little creatures, which I had as imaginary friends when I was a little kid, he says.
So, it has like double meaning for me, this space.
The first-ever Tbilisi Art Fair (TAF 2018) ran 17-20 May 2018.

Tbilisi (Georgian: თბილისი), commonly known by its former name Tiflis,[4] and often mispronounced as Tiblisi, is the capital and the largest city of Georgia, lying on the banks of the Kura River with a population of roughly 1.5 million inhabitants. Founded in the 5th century by the monarch of Georgia's ancient precursor the Kingdom of Iberia, Tbilisi has since served, with intermissions, as the capital of various Georgian kingdoms and republics. Under Russian rule, from 1801 to 1917 Tiflis was the seat of the Imperial Viceroy governing both sides of the entire Caucasus.
Located on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Tbilisi's proximity to lucrative east-west trade routes often made the city a point of contention between various rival empires throughout history and the city's location to this day ensures its position as an important transit route for global energy and trade projects. Tbilisi's varied history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of medieval, classical, Middle Eastern, Art Nouveau, Stalinist and Modernist structures.
Historically, Tbilisi has been home to people of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, though it is overwhelmingly Eastern Orthodox Christian. Notable tourist destinations include cathedrals like Sameba and Sioni, classical Freedom Square, Rustaveli Avenue and Agmashenebeli Avenue, medieval Narikala Fortress, pseudo-Moorish Opera Theater, and the Georgian National Museum.
