Garush Melkonyan
Garush Melkonyan is a visual artist and filmmaker. His work mainly combines video, sculpture and installation, exploring the invisible codes that structure communication, discourse and language. Experimentation and improvisation within an already defined framework play an important role in Melkonyan’s practice, as they allow for the creation of a new collaborative environment. His works have been exhibited in group exhibitions, screenings and festivals in venues such as Palais de Tokyo, Paris; La Panacée, Montpellier; Nordenhake Gallery, Mexico City; La Villette, Paris. He had solo exhibitions at Jean Claude Maier Gallery, Frankfurt and Lasecu, Lille 3000. Melkonyan received his MFA from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (2017) and San Francisco Art Institute in 2016. His MFA diploma installation entitled The Interview received the Thaddaeus Ropac Prize.
