Fourth International Biennial Gyumri 2004

This year, Armenia will be celebrating the 1600th anniversary of Mesrop Mashtot's alphabet. We have brought together artists from the four corners of the world to work around the theme of language and communication, an essential part of the Armenian identity. Over 55 artists participated, from 18 different countries including the UK, Germany, Poland, Holland and France.

Curators : Vazgen PAHLAVUNI-TADEVOSYAN, Azat SARGSYAN, guest curator Bruce ALLAN (U.K.),

Theme : language and communication.

Partners/Support: Ararat Cognac; The British Council; United Nations; STIL gallery (Gyumri); the Ethnographic Museum; and the Fine Arts Academy. We were also very pleased to have the presence of two directors from the renown Arnofini art space in Bristol, UK.
