On June 17, an exclusive event took place at the AKNEYE phygital space in Venice. Exactly 100 years later, the reality reflecting the unwavering will of the Armenian artist and highlighting our homeland and history was recreated.
Fastex's AKNEYE project, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, Martiros Saryan House-Museum, “SARER” Cultural NGO and the National Gallery of Armenia, held a wonderful event, during which the attendees told how a century ago, with the efforts of Martiros Saryan, Armenia participated in the 14th Venice Biennale: a display of 20 works by 6 Armenian artists. Olga Pevzner "recreated" the Armenian wall, and the paintings were exhibited in the hall in digital format, giving new life to the artworks.
Svetlana Sahakyan, Head of the Department for Modern Art of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia, Bella Isahakyan, Director of the Martiros Saryan House-Museum, Erna Revazova, Founder and President of the "SARER" Cultural NGO, Marina Hakobyan, Director of the National Gallery of Armenia and others delivered speeches. Sona Harutyunyan, Professor at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice, guests from the Consulate and the team of organizers of the Biennale were present.
The Fastex CEO Vakhtang Ambrahamyan noted the company's willingness to always emphasize Armenian art and culture and support them with various projects.
"Fastex, being a technology company, is essentially trying to combine technology and art. We are glad to have implemented this project, presenting the art of one of our great people, Saryan, in a new digital form."
The speeches were followed by a closed screening of the documentary film "Saryan and Venice", the full version of which can be viewed at this link: https://youtu.be/imJnEJ4pmlQ.
