Modern Art in Armenia, Oh My!


Click to enlarge.

UPDATE: Thanks to reader Karen, it has been determined that this is not art. Rather, it is a promotion for a movie. Thanks, Karen!

What do you think this piece of art is trying to portray? I'd much rather watch the Garfield movie being advertised in the background than witness such art. By the way, this is in front of Kino Moskva.

Hi! Thanks for posting this picture. Actually, I am glad that modern and conceptual art is on such a display in Yerevan. I quite like it and disagree with you. One may consider it as anti-war act, others – as a display of specific social or civic stance. That's a good thing with contemporary art - frequently controversial, it provokes discussions and debates.

Hi

This is not "art" neither it was intended to pose like that. It's an ad for the movie, which poster you can see in the background: "Chkrakvac pampushtner" ("unused bullets"). Look more carefully and you will see a smaller poster for the same movie attached to the window of the machine.
