'Museum TV Station'- Lado Darakhvelidze
The Georgian artist Lado Darakhvelidze uses drawing, installation, print and the internet to monitor and reveal social and political changes. He understands the role of the artist as that of a political activist and reporter of reality.
'Museum TV Station' refers to art activities in museums, biennials and related art events, in which the artwork and curatorial events evoke actual political and engaged positions and where both the artist and curator transform the museum or venue into what might be termed an open source information centre.
In the last few months, Lado Darakhvelidze has monitored the online discussions of the Belfast Telegraph’s website and grouped the coverage according to subjects. Part of 'Museum TV Station' is the Ideal Newspaper, a 20 page citizen journal of online comments transferred to print. Together with live skype sessions from artists and citizens, drawings and comments, 'Museum TV Station' turns PS² into a media centre; an agency which functions with the participation of engaged citizens as an alternative to conventional information systems.
