Partizan Publik made a preparation trip in January for their art project on Post Soviet Urban Imaginaries.
The trip was made in January to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. A diary was kept during this trip, which offers slight peek of what we can expect of this ambitious project in the Caucasus. They have met several interesting Armenian artists, who attempt to recapture Armenia’s forgotten history and to express it in their art, each in a different way.
Partizan Publik’s aim for this project is to build a visual archive of dreams and nightmares as a way of researching where Soviet and post-Soviet reality and fiction meet. Armenian artists are working with them already, Vardan Azatyan among others.
The Armenia Dreaming project consists of a tutorial project at the DAI, a series of public lectures at various locations and a two-week art event in Yerevan.
