Opening of “9+1” group exhibition
In 1992, with the initiative and curation of Sonia Balasanyan, a group exhibition of 9 artists took place, which was called “Exhibition of 9”. The exhibition became the starting point for the foundation of the NPAK.
Thirty-one years after the “Exhibition of 9”, the NPAK presents the “9+1” exhibition, the works of the participating artists on the one hand create a dialogue with the exhibition of 9, and on the other hand, they are innovative and experiential for the artists themselves.
Participating artists are:
- Anna Gardieva,
- Aram Zurabyan,
- Arevik Aleksanayn,
- Bela Poghosyan,
- Edward Balassanian,
- Hakob Balayan,
- Mariam Aleksanyan,
- Silva Chobanyan,
- Sonia Balassanian,
- Stella Grigoryan.
