Houses in the Modern Collection and Kum Kapi carpets - Temporary exhibitions at Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisboa - 19th of June 2016
“I managed to see two temporary exhibitions at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum where I spent part of the morning last Sunday. One of them was on Houses in the Museum's Modern collection and the other one on carpets...
The one on Kum Kapi carpets, whose name is associated to a district in Istambul where in the 19th century various Armenian master carpet makers ares said to have settled to create richly knotted silk carpets inspired in the Classic Persian carpets was equally insteresting. The exhibition displayed carpets made by two different Armenian artists - Hagop Kapoudjian (1870-1946) and Mekhitar Garabedian (1977) in what be called a "dialogue" between tradition and its reinvention.”
