Yervan to host "Art For Nature - Land Art" photo exhibition
Today, on August 25, Narekatsi Cultural Centre of Yerevan will open a photo exhibition titled «Art For Nature - Land Art». Exhibition will present photos by Armenian and foreign young artists. By the invitation of Integration NGO, authors have traveled throughout Armenia, creating a land art of their own, i.e. compositions made up of natural substances (stones, flowers, leaves etc.).

A relative new trend, land art came into existence in the United States during the 6th decade of last year. Over the short period of its existence, it acquired many worshippers and followers. Land art was first introduced to American society in 1968 in New York, during a series of exhibitions devoted to the new trend which aims to create pieces of art based exclusively on the gifts of nature.
