Means and Objectives

This project suggests a total site-specific installation as an attempt to actualize the issue of choice of means and objectives, marking in parallel 2017, the centenary of Great Socialist Revolution. Grigorian believes that means and objectives are mutually connected, or perhaps even identify each other, as any given means in itself is an objective in present, and any objective is a means in future. Therefore, the objectives aimed at increasing the power of man over nature, and eliminating the exploitation of man by man, are justified.

The Means and Objectives project continues the concepts that play important roles in his creative activity- reconsideration of Socialist ideals, revisiting and re- incarnating ideas ignored or wrongfully refused in Armenian Soviet past.

Means and Objectives re-considers the architectural transformation of space, to open and re-run the constructive functionalism of modernist architecture, as well as to represent images that are imaginative, futuristic phantoms inserted into the local environment, enabling the viewer  to witness how the encounter of past and future is realized, and to experience in some sense, a unique feeling which he calls "a communistic enthusiasm.
