The Cafesjian Center for the Arts organized a conference on the theme Dialogue as Action: the Quest of the "3-rd Floor" and Its Actuality 30 Years Later, which took place on June 2-3, 2018.
The 3-rd Floor movement was one of the most important manifestations of Armenian art and culture in the 1980s-1990s. The movement, with a diversity of styles, techniques, and materials, a variety of contemporary and modern art traditions, as well as artistic areas, a huge number of participants, and, finally, the dimension and resonance of exhibitions, turned the existence of innovative art in Armenia into indisputable public evidence, which resulted in its corresponding consequences. The ideal of freedom inspiring the movement, born within the decaying USSR system, yet making attempts at self-improvement, was simultaneously directed against the system itself.
The 3-rd Floor was the result of the Gorbachev Perestroika movement, but its artistic agenda and production raised forces and strategies with the potential to destroy the system from within.
This conference aimed at showing the origins and consequences, the developments and limits of these forces and strategies.
CCA invited researchers and those interested in that era to participate in the conference and propose the following framework of questions:
• What was the 3-rd Floor from the organizational and structural point of view?
• What were the aesthetic and cultural-political principles within the framework of the 3-rd Floor?
• How did the 3-rd Floor reflect its own time and predict possible future?
• What role did the 3-rd Floor play in the formation of contemporary Armenian art?
• What were the messages that have been shaped and transmitted in the frames of the movement?
• How are they being perceived today?
The conference proceedings are available at the CCA Interactive Study Center.
