ENCOUNTERS WITH ART: Knarik Vardanyan Catalog Presentation

In the scope of Encounters with Art series the Cafesjian Center for the Arts (CCA) announces the presentation of the Knarik Vardanyan: Time, Space, Motion exhibition catalog at the Special Events Auditorium of the Center, on March 10, at 7:00PM․

Prior to the event, visitors will have the opportunity to view the exhibition in the Center’s Eagle Gallery, starting at 6:30PM.

During the evening, Knarik Vardanyan’s oeuvre will be presented, and the exhibition -- on view at the Center for nearly three months -- together with the educational program organized within its framework, will be summarized.

The catalog will be available to the Center’s current members, and the guests of the event will have the opportunity to become members on site and receive their copy of the publication.

The Cafesjian Center for the Arts continues the important mission of discovering women artists who have remained on the margins of the Armenian art history. The exhibition, Knarik Vardanyan: Time, Space, Motion is a major project presenting this remarkable artist with her full artistic potential, after years of silence.

Most of the approximately fifty works on view come from the collection of Narek Van Ashughatoyan, while a number of works and important archival materials have been provided by the National Gallery of Armenia. For the first time, the exhibition also presents the artist's private, intimate creative “lab”, where through drawings she studied nature, architecture, the cosmos, and most importantly, herself.

The Encounters with Art program was launched at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts in October 2010, as a series of events dedicated to Armenian and international artists, as well as important cultural events.
