Vahram Aghasyan

Vahram Aghasyan is an artist from Yerevan. With thirty years of experience as a curator and theorist, he has exhibited his work in various important international institutions, as well as prestigious events such as the 10th Istanbul International Biennial, the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, "Great Expectations" at the Casino Luxembourg, and the 1st Thessaloniki Contemporary Art Biennale. Vahram Aghasyan’s work captures the disturbing desolation of Mush, an unfinished residential area near Gyumri in Armenia. Destined to shelter those displaced by the 1988 earthquake, Mush became a ghost town due to halted construction and prolonged neglect. Its abandoned modernist architecture serves as a disturbing reminder of the unrealized ambitions of the Soviet era and as a silent testament to those utopian dreams.
