The final round of the TUAM2 Residency brings a breath of fresh air from Georgia to kitev: a week full of experimental sounds, videos, beats and exchange. Guests include Anushka Anushka Chkheidze, one of the most exciting young electronic musicians from Tbilisi, and Giorgi Spanderashvili, curator and organiser of numerous projects spanning video, performance and media art.

From 3–10 November, they will transform the 4. Etage and the Water Tanks into an open studio – a place for sound experiments, encounters and shared moments. Giorgi will bring two video programmes featuring works by Georgian artists, accompanied by talks, drinks, music and plenty of space for exchange.

Also participating are the Oberhausen DJ duo finsterniz & sun_ma and Marie Gavois (Stockholm/Düsseldorf) with their new experimental project UNRST.
