CCA held a private preview of the exhibition, Paruyr Davtyan: Davtyan Paruyr

July 25, 2025

The Cafesjian Center for the Arts held a private preview of the exhibition, Paruyr Davtyan: Davtyan Paruyr in Eagle Gallery of the Center, on July 24, 2025.

The exhibition, Paruyr Davtyan: Davtyan Paruyr is structured around several key axes, aiming not only to introduce an Armenian artist who has remained unknown within the Armenian art scene but also to present, through his first solo exhibition in Armenia, the phenomenon of Moscow Conceptualism — itself virtually unknown in the local context — as embodied by one of its prominent and active representatives.

The exhibition consists entirely of reference-rich works, shaped in the turbulent flows of both local Moscow and global art histories — their known and unknown pages.

Through deconstructing artworks from the past, Davtyan reassembles their fragments into new compositions. In fact, the layering and rearranging of established codes is one of the artist’s core methods.

Among the many distinguished guests at the opening were Anton Belov, Director of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, and Olga Sviblova, renowned curator and founding director of the Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow, who also opened the exhibition with a speech.

The exhibition will be open to the public in Eagle Gallery of the Center from July 25 to October 12, 2025. The admission is free.
