Tolia Curriculum

Tolia Curriculum
May 22 to June 18, 2026
 

Tolia Curriculum is a project conceived by Georgian artist Tolia Astakhishvili, unfolding as a daily schedule of workshops, lectures, screenings, readings, and participatory formats for children and adults. In the lead-up to Figure of the Child, her largest exhibition to date, Astakhishvili opens her production and installation process to the public as she develops her work in situ.

Visitors are invited to engage with the forms of dialogue and distributed authorship that sustain Astakhishvili’s practice through formats hosted by her close collaborators. These include artists James Richards and Veronica Brovall, researchers and writers Livia Polanyi and Kristian Vistrup Madsen, poet Liesl Ujvary, and mumok architect Laurids Ortner.

Tolia Curriculum reconfigures the museum as a site of ongoing artistic work rather than finished display, inviting visitors to engage with the exhibition while it is still taking shape—a first in mumok’s history.

Tolia Astakhishvili (born 1974 in Tbilisi, Georgia) lives and works in Berlin and Tbilisi. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, Venice (2025); SculptureCenter, New York (2024); Haus am Waldsee, Berlin (2023); and Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn (2023). Recent group exhibitions include MoMA PS1, New York (2025); Fondation Pernod Ricard, Paris (2025); and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Roma, Rome (2024).
