At the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, Alexander Nikitin and Dmitry Beketov bring Armenian carpet ornament and the form of the khachkar into a new sculptural language. Four monumental works from Qarpet are on view in the Sasuntsi Davit Gallery through 12 December 2026.
What is on view
The project reinterprets rather than copies a single local tradition. The artists combine carpet motifs from Artsakh and Lake Sevan with the khachkar heritage of Sanahin and Julfa. The Center says each of the four sculptures has its own narrative, from an apricot tree in blossom to more personal, inward journeys.
Where and when
The exhibition is in the Sasuntsi Davit Gallery at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, 10 Tamanyan Street. Admission is free. Gallery opening hours differ from the Cascade's outdoor spaces, so check the visitor page before going.
