E.A. Shared Space is pleased to announce Latent Slumber, the first exhibition to open in the project’s new location at 2 Beri Gabriel Salosi I Turn, Tbilisi, Georgia. The exhibition brings together works by Andro Eradze, Teimuraz Eristavi, Lea Vajda, and Peng Zuqiang, curated by Arnold Braho, and will be on view from November 8, 2026, to January 8, 2027.

The exhibition is conceived around a structure that reveals the dispositifs and conditions through which a dream may take shape. A structure of support and control, it is imagined to accommodate, sustain, and display. Dreaming, however, is a terrible will to power: a force capable of producing images, desires, and projections while, at the same time, capturing those who become trapped within them. These images can be anticipated, pre-packaged, and organised by structures that determine their forms and delimit their possibilities. Here, the dream is considered in its dual nature, as an individual experience and a collective projection: not only as a single spontaneous impulse, but also what a community imagines, desires, and builds, and the dispositifs through which these aspirations are produced and governed.

According to Haytham el-Wardany, sleep opens up a psychic theatre in which desires, fears, and memories are staged beyond the order imposed by waking life. Ghosts, lost presences, and suspended ideas intermingle with the spaces and bodies of the world, composing scenarios in which what is absent continues to act. It is within this condition that the title of the exhibition finds its meaning. Latent Slumber describes a state in which images, desires, and possibilities remain active without fully manifesting, suspended between their potential emergence and the structures that condition their form. Latency can be understood as a possibility whose conditions have already been established, whose images have been anticipated, and whose developments have been confined to a predetermined horizon.

The exhibition Latent Slumber brings together works that explore the material and imaginary conditions through which this force manifests itself, while also focusing on the apparatuses that seek to discipline it. The works engage with systems of surveillance, ideological models, and spaces in which desire is directed and circulated. From architectures of contingency to military observation systems and devices for staging and capturing memory, a tension emerges between the works and the techniques that seek to render it legible, predictable, and productive.
