YARAT! arranges carpet demonstration at BakuTel exhibition

Non-profit organization YARAT! participates in the 19th Exhibition and Conference Telecommunications and Information Technologies which is underway in Baku from 2 to 5 December.

YARAT! offers exhibition visitors to see the works of young artists Faiq Ahmad and Farid Rasulov who have represented Azerbaijan many times in Venice Biennale, at Biennale of Modern Art in Sharjah and other major art exhibitions in Europe, US and Russia.

The theme of Azerbaijani carpet will be uniting for artists through the relationship of the old and the new in art and life can be traced. Carpets by Faiq Ahmd demonstrate not just an attempt of getting away from the canons, but also an attempt to rethink the tradition to make them relevant for today. Destroying habitual designs, the author gives his own definition of each element and makes it consonant with the consciousness of the young generation.

Farid Rasulov’s video installations is a unity of opposites - the eastern luxury and European interior of hi tech and wildlife style and, which invades the world of an urban dweller. Images that are accessed by artists are fresh, original and easy to read for contemporaries.

Both artists lead us to believe that innovative technology has become the language and communication tool between traditions and contemporary art.

It is also worth noting that YARAT takes an active part in the BakuTel exhibition for the second consecutive year.
