Meet Khoren Matevosyan, a visual artist with a distinct style, whose works capture attention and imagination. As a co-founder of the visual arts collective “Kupikazu,” he has organized a number of exhibitions and worked with some of Armenia’s most recognizable brands. Currently, he is working on a project illustrating Armenian fairy tales and is organizing his first solo exhibition. Having tried his hand at a variety of media, at the Villa Empain - Fondation Boghossian Khoren will dedicate his creative resources to combining two of his longstanding obsessions—pixels and traditional dragon carpets. During the residency, he will create carpet patterns that redefine the traditional art form to create images that have never been seen before. Explore some of Khoren's work by flipping through images. 🔗 Learn more about our 2024 East-West Residents at https://lnkd.in/d9TwK_fk

I have selected this work for the offer "Behind the Masks of Utopian Joy", which will be held at Chili Art Gallery (13-15 Dimofontos Street, Thissio) from Thursday, 22 February to Saturday, 2 March 2024 and online via ARTgrid, for a month. I have four works to choose from. Two of them will be selected to be put on display during the exhibition. The works are available in 5 hand-signed prints on museum-quality materials. I'm very interested in the exhibition's theme: what's behind the overly optimistic masks. What do we use to mask or reveal our thoughts/feelings? 1. Red Scarf 2

What a gorgeous painting Brian! In your Visual Art and our music together, your sense of the 'narrative' of life, the stories, social commentary and recognition of beauty in the apparently ordinary, fleeting moments of the everyday is always evident. As in this painting, you successfully imbue your work with empathy, poignancy, and atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/eSasgZiR

The annual report of Asortymentna kimnata 2023 is out and in the first link. 16 exhibitions with over 152 exhibition days featuring works by 114 artists. 4 art books and 3 art residencies. Several transport missions of Ukrainian contemporary art to Europe and 2 exhibitions abroad. One School of Contemporary Art and one tailor made program for the artists affiliated with southern regions of Ukraine as well as for more connections between south in west inside the country. One important remark - in 2023 we were not evacuating any new art pieces, but we taking care for those which are staying in our shelter since 2022. From almost 1000 evacuated pieces we’ve got one third still in our shelter — those are mostly the pieces which do not have a place to come back. In 2023 we’ve also started to restore some of those pieces. Since spring 2023 we do not have external funding for the costs, connected with shelter, security and restoration. This is being financed from the own costs of the organization and/or from some smaller rests of overheads for other programs. We are still understuffed and lacking resources for institutional sustainability. But we are working on it and doing our best with what we have and where we are.

Introducing this project on an Arrernte sacred site (Women’s Site) in the heart of Central Australia (Alice Springs) is a direct insult to the Mparntwe Traditional Custodians. While we acknowledge the perspectives of those who view tourism and commercial interests as beneficial, prioritising these over a site of profound spiritual significance, which has been sacred to the Arrernte people for thousands of years, is deeply troubling. Once again, we are witnessing the disregard of a culturally significant site in favour of external gains, undermining the preservation of an ancestral heritage that has shaped this land for millennia. This issue transcends economic interests; it is about safeguarding the heritage of the world’s oldest living culture for future generations. Is this a new movement by Indigenous interests that places commercial opportunities and gains above our cultural rights as the First Peoples of this nation? Traditional Custodian.

THE CREATIVE SPIRIT IS VITAL
“I want to make of Impressionism something solid and durable, like the art of the museums,” Cézanne once said. And in struggling stages, he did so, the late critic Peter Schjeldahl argued. The painter was “rigorously true to the testimony of eyesight, such as the different angles, and thus the very slightly different worlds, of vision from the right eye and the left.” The scenes of his “Card Players” paintings are thoroughly banal, but “close looking is where the fun comes in and, generally, exhausts itself, chez Cézanne.” Revisit Schjeldahl on Cézanne’s anxiety and the birth of modernism: https://lnkd.in/gffG9Bsj

For former Art Gallery of Ontario curator Wanda Nanibush, two art exhibitions she visited at sixteen transformed her life. They revealed a powerful vision of Indigenous art that was resistant, resurgent, and forward looking, shaping her future in the art world, writes Jason McBride. https://lnkd.in/gjfwhbAr
