Gayane Avetissian’s project-exhibition Mejtegh (“In Between”) opened at CCA

November 19, 2024
The private preview of Gayane Avetissian’s project, Mejtegh (“In Between”) took place in Eagle gallery of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts on November 19, 2024․

Through Gayane Avetissian’s project-exhibition Mejtegh (“In Between”), the Cafesjian Center for the Arts seeks to redefine the dynamics of museum-artist-visitor relationships. It reexamines both the connection between an artist and a museum space and that between a visitor and a museum. In a sense, the museum steps back from its role as an “intermediary,” minimizing or even dissolving the bridge between a visitor and an artist. Mejtegh offers visitors a unique, immersive experience within the artist’s world.

Gayane Avetissian “invades” and “occupies” one of the galleries at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, breaking conventional boundaries in the process. This is her first major museum exhibition in Armenia—a challenge in many respects—where she makes a bold decision not to merely display her work, but to bring her private, intimate world into a public space. This “intervention” disrupts established paradigms that traditionally keep the artist’s studio and the museum in separate realms.

The exhibition is open to the public in Eagle Gallery of the Center till March 30, 2025. Admission is free.
