1985-1991 Ijevan Symposium for Sculpture. Post Factum

Panel discussion

By stressing the importance of cultural decentralization policy and the necessity of reinterpretation of public memory, the graduates/alumni of Art Criticism and Curatorial Training School are inviting you to take part in a panel discussion on a sculpture symposium that was held in Ijevan during 1985-1991 and the heritage it left to the city.

The archive of the symposium has appeared in students’ attention not only as a research topic or subject; this is an opportunity for symposium to become historicized not only in the context of cultural decentralization policy but also in cultural past and present realms of Ijevan.

The print media archive of the symposium subsequently underwent content and conceptual analysis and during the research work talks and meetings were held both with symposium organizers and participant sculptors.
