Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Mamikon Yengibarian - sculptor

    Armenian sculptor living in Hungary.


    Vagabonds - Sculpture by Mamikon Yengibarian, Photography by Roberto Prina Antonucci
    CourtesyWhen: from Thursday, 31 July 2008 until Thursday, 28 August 2008
    Where: Art Factory Gallery II
    What: Exhibitions (museums/galleries)

    "Ten bronze alley cats will prowl across the floor of Art Factory II from July 31 - August 28. These are the 'Vagabonds' by renowned sculptor Mamikon Yengibarian.

    The exhibition will open on July 31 at 7 p.m. as part of the famous Falk Miksa Collectors' Night during which area galleries will feature many special events throughout the evening. Art Factory II is located at Markó u. 4, near the corner of Falk Miksa.

    The 'Vagabond' sculptures appeared in the Arsenale of the Venice Biennale in 1999. Each has their own personality, conveying emotions ranging from playfulness to haunted loneliness.

    Armenian-born Mamikon Yengibarian has been a member of the Hungarian art community for nearly 20 years. The Derkovits scholarship is amongst the many awards he has received. Yengibarian has gained an international reputation for his popular 'Tumbling Dolls' sculptures in the Four Seasons Hotel Budapest Gresham Palace.

    The sculpture installation is complemented by a photography series by Italian photographer Roberto Prina Antonucci. Using a single black and white photo as a base, Prina has digitally overlaid text referring to the traditional saying "cats have nine lives." A former resident of Budapest, Prina is known for his candid street shots of the faces of Europe.

    The exhibition also includes 'Babylon' by abstract, minimalist painter Halmi-Horváth István. The small black-on-black diptych reflects on the military operations and rape of art treasures in Iraq. The piece features a cat-shaped pattern from the ancient Mesopotamian Gate of Istar. According to Iraqi folklore animals are guardian beings."

    Italian photographer Roberto Prina Antonucci last exhibited his work at the Art Factory Gallery two years ago.
