The Cafesjian Center for the Arts (CCA) in Yerevan announces the opening of an exhibition of contemporary artist Anush Ghukasyan’s installation on Friday, March 19.

The exhibition, “Inside Out”, follows the common thread of the artistic practice that the young artist has developed for more than five years. Some of her installations are delicate pieces created carefully from refined craftsmanship, while others are rawer and unedited, CCA reported.

“’Inside Out’ sits in between, just as the world experienced an in-between period during the pandemic. Ghukasyan grabs the elusive, soft, free, peaceful and silent clouds, and integrates them into rough rust-colored sewer pipes erected above the ground. As such, the installation questions the mutability and versatility of borders,” says Nairi Khatchadourian, the exhibition curator.

“The visitors will have the opportunity to discover the interlocking of the temporary and eternal, the limited and infinite, the earthly and celestial, by contemplating the different realities synthesized within themselves,” states Vahagn Marabyan, Acting Executive Director of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts.

Born in Yerevan in 1985, Anush Ghukasyan is one of the most compelling artists of her generation. Having graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts as a graphic artist, she has mostly worked in the realm of installation art. Her works were presented at group shows in Armenia and Artsakh. In 2018 and 2019, she had two personal projects: 111 and Pieces. The latter won the Boghosian Prize (formerly known as The RA President Prize).

The exhibition runs until June 13.
