The Armenian Museum of America provided the following information:
Our latest contemporary exhibition has received excellent coverage from Art New England, Watertown Cable News, Armenian Mirror-Spectator, and beyond. The latest is by Artscope critic Erica DeMatos.
“The Armenian Museum of America contextualizes Armenia’s lengthy and turmoiled past and presents a more contemporary view of Armenians today,” writes DeMatos in her 1,000-word review. “Treasures are unveiled in ‘Gandzaran! Notable Selections from Our Collection’ threading generations of people together through modern interpretations of a shared culture. Shadows, carvings, and etchings permanently engrave the history of a displaced country onto a physical plane.”
By popular demand, Gandzaran! has been extended to August 18. It showcases 39 works by 24 artists including Minas Avetisyan, Martiros Sarian, Reuben Nakian, Naomi Pridjian, Jean Jansem, Jean Carzou, Edgar Chahine, Martin Barooshian, and Kevork Mourad.
