This exhibition is another version of “Ambiguous Boundaries” exhibition, which took place in January 2012 in Art Point Gallery (Kulturkontakt Austria) in Vienna. 

            In these works, artists are focusing on the question of how to establish and assert oneself in a world in which the value system is rapidly changing. 

             All presented artists lived part of their remembered lives during the Soviet era.  Time in which art, culture, social life and almost everything else was ‘played’ according to scenarios dictated by the state. At that time, the boundaries were many, rigid and unambiguous.

            However, the breakdown of the Communist system still did not bring the hoped-for freedom and stability – either in the economy, in culture, in the arts or in the academic and scientific world. Many problems that Armenia is facing today are universal for all post-Soviet countries, although the specifics and intensities vary: the weak free-market economy, social instability, the absence of any system of values shaped within and by the country itself – a “closed space” in turmoil with many ambiguous boundaries. And it is not easy to find a starting point from which to exit this situation.
