PanARMENIAN.Net
August 31, 2011 - 13:13 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Garboushian Gallery will present California Armenian
Pacific Standard Time, from September 15 to November 5.
Planned artworks include pieces by John Altoon, Charles Garabedian,
Leo Krikorian, Paul Sarkisian, Sam Tchakalian and writer/poet William
Saroyan, among others.
These artists are featured not only because they are California
Armenian Americans, but precisely because of the vital role they
played and some still continue to play in defining Californian art,
both at the aesthetic and institutional level, in the second half of
the 20th century. California Armenian Pacific Standard Time is part
of Pacific Standard Time, an unprecedented collaboration, initiated by
the Getty, which brings together more than sixty cultural institutions
from across Southern California for six months beginning October 2011
to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene.
Garboushian Gallery's California Armenian Pacific Standard
Time exhibition attempts to chronicle the post-war history of
Armenian American art making through an interconnection of these
individuals-some well known, some lesser known-and the exceptional
work they have produced.
