PROGRAM 2020 – 2021
On December 10th 2020, AAF Art Foundation launched the Open Space Curatorial Exhibition within the framework of its digital program. Made up of submissions ranging from video artists, photographers, established and emerging artists, over 30 international artists presented their work. Since 2018, the Open Space platform, curated by Eva Khachatryan was created to present contemporary art through new media within the AAF framework.
“Getting in touch with all the selected artists and researching their work was a huge excitement for us, and encouraged us to continue thinking about Open Space as a growing platform with immense possibilities online and offline” – E. Khachatryan, curator and the Artistic Director.

CURATORIAL PROJECT
On December 20th we launched an online curatorial project by AAF Guest Curator and Director of Curatorial Studies Institute in Slovakia, Juraj Carny. Carny’s project asks difficult questions and challenges how to speak about human issues and avoid political propaganda dressed as art. Through the lens of a metaphor, this project explores the importance of social and political visibility and its complex relationship with modes of art and exhibition.
