Hagop Gyurjyan second international symposium on sculpture took place
in the city of Shushi attended by 19 artists from Italy, Belarus,
Belgium, Japan, Armenia and Karabakh is coming to an end. It started
on July 13 and lasted 17 days, GeorgiaTimes reports.
First International Symposium of Sculptors also was held in Shushi
last year. It was timed to the 130th anniversary of the famous Armenian
sculptor Hakob Gyurjyan, a native of the city of Shushi.
According to its results 15 sculptures were given to the city.
The organizers of this symposium are the Ministry of Culture,
Ministry of Youth Affairs of Nagorno-Karabakh and the mayor of the
city of Shushi.
Vigen Avedis, president of the symposium and the author of the idea,
said, "I would like to mention one important thing: in addition to
sculptures, which get birth here, we are strengthening international
relations between Karabakh and Italy. We have already agreed with Mayor
of one of the oldest cities in Italy, Tuscany, the city of Lucca that
Shushi and Lucca would become sister cities. They are very similar
in appearance - both cities have a fortress. And Lucca has extensive
experience in the restoration and this can be very useful for Shushi
in the future."
"All finished work will be left in Shushi, and I would like them to be
in one place - for example, in the park. Because they were all born
together, and they must also be put together. It will be a museum of
sculpture, a kind of an open air museum. We must discuss it with the
Mayor of Shushi, choose a location," Avedis said.
