The opening ceremony of Vagrich Bakhchanian's
exhibition at Actionfield Kodra (Salonica) featured a performance delivered by Eugeny
Nikitin, a Russian poet and curator of the poetry club of Stella Art Foundation,
Russia,
and the Greek poet Vassilis Amanatidis, based on a poetry collection by Vassilis
Amanatidis "The Hare and the Country" translated into Russian by Oleg
Philippov and Eugeny Nikitin.
The performance was based on plastics and gesture, while
also involving Bakhchanian's works in the performance act. In this way, the
live voices of the poets delivering absurdist texts in Greek and Russian established
delicate links between the visual image and the sound, the language and ideas, the
art and the audience. According to Ekaterina Koskina, director of John
Costopulos Foundation, its was "a plastic and energetic show with deep meaning
concordant with the exhibition subject and the texts themselves, the best performance
of the festival." Elena Nikita, Deputy Minister of Culture and Education
of Cyprus and director of Cyprus Culture Department, also noted the performance
and invited the two poets to repeat the show in Cyprus at some future date.
We should also cite the words of Roger Buergel, curator
of dokumenta, who commented on Vagrich Bakhchanian's exhibition at Actionfield
Kodra curated by Anastasia Dokuchaeva: "It is an accomplished work of art,
perfect in its logic, aestetics and historical meaning."
