Research Exhibition
October 3-December 13, 2015
The exhibition presents artist Mher Azatyan’s personal collection, the archival project of the collection conducted at the Institute for Contemporary Art as well as several of Azatyan’s later works. Azatyan’s private collection contains traces of the activities of a group of artist-friends (Mher Azatyan, Vahram Aghasyan, David Kareyan, Samvel Hovhannissyan and Harutyun Simonyan) working in the 1990s. It makes visible the foundations of Azatyan’s formation as an artist while taking as a point of departure the 1994 exhibition P.S. Evolution and allows us to approach the activities of the artists who worked throughout 1994-1996 retrospectively, and from Azatyan’s perspecticve.
This exhibition is the second in a series initiated and financed by The Club Gallery. The initiative is realized in partnership with the Institute for Contemporary Art in Yerevan.
Curators: Anna Zhamakochyan and Nare Sahakyan.
