This work is dedicated to the victims of the Armenian genocide. During its composition, I was confronted by the problem of differing interpretations of the canonical texts laid down by the Armenian and Roman-Catholic churches. Armenian Christians conceive for example the intonation of the 'Kyrie eleison' according to the Western tradition somehow different from their tradition. I naturally selected the Armenian tradition; I had no wish to copy the rhetoric and gestures of a rite to which I am unaccustomed. I hope that the interlinking of ancient sacred and secular music of Armenia with the Latin text has created something unexpected and even slightly paradox in my music. (Tigran Mansurian)


Tigran Mansurian has created a Requiem dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide that occurred in Turkey from 1915 to 1917. Co-commissioned by the Munich Chamber Orchestra and the RIAS Choir Berlin, Mansurian’s Requiem reconciles the sound and sensibility of his country’s traditions with those of Western practices, the combination of ancient Armenian religious and secular music with the Latin Requiem text “giving rise to something unexpected,” the composer says. This is profoundly moving contemporary composition, illuminated by the “glow of Armenian modality,” as Paul Griffiths puts it in his booklet essay. The work is a milestone for Mansurian, widely acknowledged as Armenia’s greatest composer. The Los Angeles Times has described his music as that “in which deep cultural pain is quieted through an eerily calm, heart-wrenching beauty.” (challengerecords.com)

ART: Colours of the Soul - Minas Avetisyan (youtube.com)


(youtube.com) Armenian painter (1928-1975), studied in Yerevan and Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), had been exhibiting fro 1956. Avetisyan is one of those Armenian artists who put the color back into painting. "Put the color back into painting"-such an expression might seem strange, but if you go into the Matenadaran and look through the yellowed pages of the ancient manuscripts there, you will understand what is meant: there on the parchment, in all their splendor, shine the bright, sonorous colors- blue, yellow, green, red... Color plays an enormous role in the work of Avetisyan. In the night of the January 1, 1972, while the artist was in Djadjur with his family, his Yerevan studio was burnt down together with a large portion of his best canvases selected for a one-man show. Music by Mychael Danna from Atom Egoyan's film 'The Adjuster' (1991). Piano: Eve Egoyan, violin: Mark Fewer, duduk: Djivan Gasparyan.

KUNST: Minas und Narek Avetisyan - Moderne und Avantgarde in Armenien (stiftung-moritzburg.de)

Stiftung Moritzburg, Halle
Vom 21. Februar bis zum 4. Mai. 2014 



Die neue Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Moritzburg ist ein wichtiger Schritt, die zeitgenössische Kunst Armeniens hierzulande bekannter zu machen. Mit den Werken der Künstler Minas und Narek Avetisyan - Vater und Sohn - entsteht ein dichtes Bild von nahezu fünfzig Jahren Geschichte der Malerei in Armenien.

Minas Avetisyan (1928-1975) zählt zu den herausragenden Künstlern der armenischen Moderne. Während seines kurzen Lebens - er starb im Alter von 47 Jahren - hat er ein beachtliches Œuvre geschaffen. Als einer der ersten Künstler in der Sowjetunion wandte sich Minas Avestisyan vom propagierten "Sozialistischen Realismus" ab. Er gilt als der Begründer der "neuen Kunst" der 1960er-Jahre.

Narek Avetisyan (*1969) ist der jüngste Sohn Minas Avetisyans. Anlässlich der 48. Biennale in Venedig 1999 vertrat er die Republik Armenien mit einer multimedialen Installation. Mit seinen großformatigen, durch leuchtende Farbgebung ausgezeichneten Gemälden, steht Narek Avetisyan integriert im internationalen Kontext.

Von Vater Minas Avetisyan zeigt die Stiftung Moritzburg 20 ausgewählte Arbeiten, von Narek Avetisyan zwölf Gemälde. Am Ende der Ausstellung wird es ein armenisches Fest geben, zu dem die Armenische Gemeinde in Sachsen-Anhalt einlädt.

Minas und Narek Avetisyan. Moderne und Avantgarde in Armenien 
 
(stiftung-moritzburg.de) Ein Kooperationsprojekt der Stiftung Moritzburg Halle (Saale) und der Stiftung KulturDialog ARMENIEN, gefördert aus Mitteln des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt.

Verfügen wir auch über ein allgemeines Wissen über die Geschichte und Kultur Armeniens, so ist unsere Kenntnis über die zeitgenössische Kunst in dem Land sehr mangelhaft.

Die Ausstellung im Kunstmuseum Moritzburg ist der erste Schritt auf dem Weg, dies zu ändern. Mit den Werken der beiden ausgewählten Künstler Minas und Narek Avetisyan – Vater und Sohn – entsteht ein fokussiertes Bild von nahezu fünfzig Jahren Geschichte der Malerei in Armenien.

Minas, dem Vater, gelang in seiner Malerei unter Rückbesinnung auf traditionelle Farbkonzeptionen und auf inhaltlich wie formal in der armenischen Kultur wurzelnde Vorstellungen die Herausbildung einer ganz eigenen Bildsprache, die bis an die Ungegenständlichkeit heranreicht. Damit gelang es ihm, der Vereinnahmung durch einen sozialistischen Realismus sowjetischer Prägung zu begegnen.

Der Sohn Narek setzte dort an und ging konsequent den Weg zum Anschluss an die internationalen Kunstbewegungen. In seinen großformatigen, durch leuchtende Farbgebung ausgezeichneten Gemälden steht er voll integriert im internationalen Kontext.

i'm calling you, come my love,
i'd die for your tall body
you aren't coming, may your hearth go out;
tell me, what can i say?

i gathered boquets of roses, my love,
i'd die for your tall body
the roads are crying, awaiting your return;
tell me, what can i say?

the roses are wet with dew, my love,
i'd die for your tall body
those drops of dew are my heart's tears,
tell me, what can i say?

BUCH: Lichtstreifen im Schwarzen Garten. Die kaukasische Kirche an der Kreuzung zwischen Ost und West. Von A. Bjorn Jorgensen (bajarch.dk)

(bajarch.dk) Das Buch ist der Höhepunkt einer vor kurzem abgeschlossenen Reise des Architekten Bjorn A. Jorgensen (2008) im Kaukasus, wo er überzeugend die frühchristlichen Kirchen in der Umgebung dokumentiert: Diese unglaublich schönen Kirchen in der Wüste und im Kaukasus sind bisher kaum beachtet wurden und niemand hat das mit solcher Gründlichkeit dokumentiert. Diese Kirchen sind ein einzigartiges Beispiel für eine kulturelle Form in Armenien, in der Ost und West sich treffen - gegen vorherrschenden Vorstellungen vom Kampf der Kulturen.


Das Buch ist ein zutiefst faszinierendes und monumentales Werk. Diese Synthese von Architektur, Kunstgeschichte, Kulturgeschichte und Theologie hilft, neue Perspektiven zum Verständnis der Architektur zu geben. (Kaufen Sie das Buch finden Sie unter BAJsale)

ART: At Tate Modern, Gorky’s Power and Poetry (intransit.blogs.nytimes.com)

By VALERIE GLADSTONE

Starting tomorrow, fans of Arshile Gorky should head straight to the Tate Modern (Bankside, SE1; 44-207-887-8888; www.tate.org.uk/modern/), which is hosting the first major retrospective of the enormously influential artist to be seen in Europe in about 20 years.
One of the most revered painters of the 20th century, the Armenian-born Gorky produced paintings of haunting grandeur. Synthesizing the work of artists like Breton, Cézanne and Picasso, he helped to create the Abstract Expressionist movement (he was a teacher to Mark Rothko and a friend to Willem de Kooning). But Gorky, who escaped the Armenian genocide in 1915, also led a difficult life — evident in the evolution of his work — and ultimately committed suicide.
The Gorky exhibition,
which originated at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and runs at the Tate through May 3, features the particularly searing painting “The Artist and his Mother,” which exposes the rawness of Gorky’s pain at seeing his mother die of starvation. In contrast, after spending time in the countryside with his wife in the ’40s, he began painting radiant works, such as the luminous “Waterfall,” with its fluid, amorphous shapes and drips of liquid paint.
“Gorky is a great artist,” Matthew Gale, a curator at the Tate Modern, said, “and this is an opportunity for a new generation to reassess the power and delicate lyricism of his work in depth. Abstract Expressionism was vitally infused with his example. As is often the case, however, it was the influence of an attitude — in Gorky, passionate, exacting, inventive, ultimately tragic — that was more powerful than any stylistic influence.”
The Tate Modern is open Sunday to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

ART REVIEW: Sculpture Born of Scissors and Paper (nytimes.com)

Published: May 1, 2009

It is hard to define sculpture these days. Artists continue to make three-dimensional objects, but the range and variety of materials they employ defy classification. This is enchantingly evident in a show by the Armenian artist Karen Sargsyan at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art.

MUSEUM: Armenian Film Festival (mfa.org)

Three Documentaries by Serge Avedikian
4 — 5:33 pm
Remis Auditorium

We Drank the Same Water (Nous avons bu le meme eau) (France, 2007,
72 min.). When Serge Avedikian was invited to a theater festival in Istanbul in 1987, he could not resist crossing the Sea of Marmara to find the town in which his Armenian grandfather once lived. The day he spent there left him with haunting memories. Incomplete, half-stolen images remained, revealing the furtive traces of an Armenian community forced to leave in the 1920s. The film centers on Avedikian’s return to Soloz in 2006 and attempts to restore the dialogue between Armenians and Turks and encourage people to embrace the future without forgetting their past. In French with English subtitles.

Lux Aeterna by Serge Avedikian and Levon Minasian (1998, 11 min.).
On December 7, 1988, a terrible earthquake ravaged an entire region of Armenia, including its second-largest city, Leninakan. Several hours after the seismic shock, the directors began to film the devastation.

Terra Emota by Serge Avedikian and Levon Minasian (1999, 10 min.).
Ten years after the devastating earthquake that destroyed the city of Leninakan, the directors returned to the scene to record the city and its inhabitants. Discussion with director Levon Minasian follows screenings.

ART: Amazing Artist from Armenia - Vahram Aghasyan (kuenstlerstaette-bleckede.de)

English: Using architecture as a mirror, the Armenian artist Vahram Aghasyan focuses on cultural and historical processes taking place in his homeland. With photos, videos and installations, he predominantly examines architectural structures stemming from the former Soviet Union, which are now relieved of their functionality, in their present socio-political context. His photo series "Ruins of our time" (2007) depicts deserted bus stops built in the 1960s and 70s. With their experimental concrete casting they today appear as rudiments of traffic planning in a no-man's land. Unused, never completed and with no infrastructural purpose, they do possess relevance in regard to the politics of remembrance as monuments of a history not yet overcome. In these "bus stops monuments", Aghasyan sees the remains of an architecture that must always also be regarded against the backdrop of Soviet monumental architecture. The brief moment of photographic exposure stands in contrast to the monumentality of the stones falling to ruins.

He places a similar focus in his photo and video installation "Ghost City" (2005-2007), which deals with an urban development utopia originating from Soviet times. After an earthquake, a residential district was to be built to make up for the lack of living spaces. The construction works, which began in 1989, were never brought to an end due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The half-completed building ruins bear witness to the goals of a glorious future that was never reached – now captured in an image of ongoing decay, which the film documentation makes succinct in its persistence and immobility.

Aghasyan's works do not document the failed attempts at launching utopias designed on the drawing board and aimed at doing justice to reality by analytically exploring the reasons for the decline, but via an archaeology of the remaining structures. It is precisely in these documents that the artist sees the unearthly ghost of modernism manifested as a part of Armenian architecture. According to Vahram Aghasyan, modernism will never completely disappear from Armenia, since it has never fully arrived there; it will remain as a witness to an historical break, which in the shortest conceivable time has not only annulled urban construction projects and their architecture, but also contributed to the disappearance of a social form, including its industry, ideology and standing in world politics.

******************************************************

Deutsch: Der armenische Künstler Vahram Aghasyan stellt über den Spiegel der Architektur die kulturellen und historischen Prozesse seines Heimatlandes ins Zentrum seiner künstlerischen Arbeiten. Anhand von Fotos, Videos und Installationen untersucht er vor allem ihrer Funktionalität enthobene architektonische Strukturen der ehemaligen Sowjetunion in ihrem heutigen gesellschafts-politischen Kontext. Seine Fotoserie "Ruins of our time" (2007) zeigt verlassene Bushaltestellen, deren experimentelle Betongüsse, die zwischen den sechziger und siebziger Jahren gebaut wurden, mittlerweile als Rudimente verkehrspolitischer Planung im Niemandsland stehen. Unbenutzt, nicht fertig gestellt, fern jeder infrastrukturellen Bedeutung, sind sie als Monumente einer nicht einmal beseitigten Geschichte von erinnerungspolitischer Relevanz. In diesen „bus stops monuments“ sieht Aghasyan Überreste einer Architektur, die immer auch vor dem Hintergrund der sowjetischen Monumentalarchitektur betrachtet werden muss. Die Kürze des fotografischen Belichtungsmoments kontrastriert mit der Monumentalität der in Stein zerfallenden Ruinen.

Einen ähnlichen Fokus hat auch die Foto-Video-Installation "Ghost City" (2005-7), die sich mit einer städtebaulichen Utopie der Sowjetzeit beschäftigt. Nach einem Erdbeben sollte ein Wohnviertel errichtet werden, um die Wohnungsknappheit zu bewältigen. Die im Jahre 1989 begonnenen Bauarbeiten wurden durch die Auflösung der Sowjetunion nie abgeschlossen und so zeugen die halbfertigen Bauruinen von nie erreichten Zielen und einer glorreichen Zukunft, die nun in einem Anblick fortdauernden Zerfalls festgehalten ist, dessen Persistenz und Unbeweglichkeit wiederum durch die filmische Dokumentation prägnant wird.

Aghasyans Arbeiten dokumentieren die gescheiterten Versuche der Lancierung von auf dem Reißbrett entworfenen wirklichkeitsgerechten Utopien nicht durch eine analytische Recherche nach den Gründen des Niedergangs, sondern über eine Archäologie der verbliebenen Bauten. Gerade in diesen Dokumenten sieht der Künstler das geisterhafte Gespenst des Modernismus als Teil der armenischen Architektur manifestiert. Laut Vahram Aghasyan wird der Modernismus nie vollständig aus Armenien verschwinden, da er nie vollständig angekommen ist, und als Zeugnis des historischen Bruchs bestehen bleiben, der in kürzest denkbarer Zeitspanne nicht nur städtebauliche Projekte und ihre Architektur annulierte, sondern eine Gesellschaftsform inklusive ihrer Industrie, Ideologie und weltpolitischen Bedeutung verschwinden ließ.

MUSIC: Course of Armenian Duduk by Gevorg Dabaghyan. 20 March 2009 - 22 March 2009

Armenian News Network / Groong, March 9, 2009

By Minas Lourian

In collaboration with the music section of the Studies and Documentation Centre of Armenian Culture, Venice, directed by Minas Lourian, the Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies (Cini Foundation) has organized, for the fourth consecutive year, a course on the duduk, a double-reed woodwind instrument made of apricot wood. A symbol of the Armenian musical tradition, the duduk (conventionally called the "Armenian oboe") is a very popular instrument with a warm slightly nasal tone creating evocative sounds. It is played to accompany songs and dancing in all the regions of Armenia and is the principal instrument at weddings and funerals. In 2005 the duduk (or dziranapogh in Armenian) was decreed a masterpiece representing the Armenian musical tradition in the UNESCO "Programme of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity".

Gevorg Dabaghyan
is a major living expert on this very ancient instrument. He has founded several ensembles, including Shoghaken, a group dedicated to conserving the very rich Armenian folk music heritage. Liturgical music also features prominently in Dabaghyan's vast repertory and is a fundamental part of a thousand-year old tradition characterised by strong Christian roots, going back to when Armenia was the first country to proclaim Christianity as its state religion in 301.
