A weekend of discussions, lectures and presentations as part of an international contemporary art seminar is set to take place in Yerevan
The need for an international network of contemporary art institutions is explained through organizers' depiction of the art scene in Armenia following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The organizers hope to create a new international network of alternative institutions of contemporary art. The weekend seminar, coordinated by independent curator Eva Khachatryan, will include the following lecturers, presenters and facilitators: Ruben Arevshatyan (Armenia), Anna Barseghian (Utopiana, Armenia/Switzerland), Wibke Behrens (NGBK, New Society for Visual Arts, Germany), Berit Fischer (Germany), Susanna Gyulamiryan (Art and Cultural Studies Laboratory, Armenia), Nazareth Karoyan (AICA Armenia), Art Laboratory artists' collective (Armenia), Azat Sargsyan (Gyumri Center of Contemporary Art, Armenia), Sophia Tabatadze (GeoAIR, Georgia), Wato Tsereteli (Center of Contemporary Art - Tbilisi, Georgia). The seminar will take place in Yerevan at the Suburb Cultural Center (Mekhitar Sebastatsi Eduactional Complex, Media Center, 57 Raffi St.), the Cafesjian Center for the Arts (Cascade Complex), and The Club (40 Tumanyan St.).
