Christiane Lieungh & Benjamin Tomasi Is This a Bird Cage?

ASPAREZ (Arena) is an experimental platform for young curators. It is connected with the other parts of the ICA - the ‘Critical and Curatorial Studies School’ and ‘Nest Artist Residency’. The students and the alumni of the school have the opportunity to conduct practical work related to exhibition case research, and the resident artists can present their work and realize projects.
These artists came to Armenia with their artistic designs and preliminary assumptions. But soon, they found out that the anticipated expectations had changed and almost everything could become a source of inspiration and serve them as a creative material.
 
This is the first collaboration of these two artists, so they liberated themselves from planned and written project descriptions and let the current experience in Armenia to lead them.
 
Both work with different media (visual arts, video, installation, sculpture) and during the exhibition, they will show their new works, which were created in Yerevan within the framework of the Art Initiative Art Retreat program. 


Curator: Lilit Stepanyan
