The Center for Armenian Arts is also thrilled to announce its inaugural exhibition, “TRACE,” by artist Rouzanna Berberian. This solo show, held at the gallery’s grand opening, showcases Berberian’s exploration of the intricate patterns found in Armenian rugs and their visual relationship to flexible circuit board designs portrayed as geometric abstractions. Drawing inspiration from the way circuit boards store and transmit data, Rouzanna aims to uncover valuable information by examining Armenian rug patterns and symbols. She firmly believes that these meticulously crafted designs carry encoded messages, passed down through generations by Armenian female ancestors. They skillfully blend function and beauty, creating a truly captivating form of artistic expression. “TRACE” invites viewers to embark on a journey that merges traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Through the fusion of Armenian rug patterns and circuit board designs, Berberian encourages us to contemplate the interconnectedness of art, culture, and technological advancements.
“TRACE” will be on display at the gallery from January 13, 2023, to January 28, 2024. It offers a unique opportunity for the community to engage with the rich cultural heritage of the Armenian people and explore the intersection of art and technology through contemporary art.
