He has been working with film and video since the early 1970s. During his stay in Moscow between 1978 and 1980, Hovsepian was influenced by the city\u0026rsquo;s avant-garde and continued to incorporate its elements into his work. Since his return to Armenia, the artist has been based in his native village, Ashnak, just outside Yerevan, which for him forms an experimental laboratory \u0026ldquo;as a front against society\u0026rsquo;s norms and pacified rules of conduct\u0026rdquo;. There he has created conceptual film works, characterized by an absurd simplicity, abstract space and long duration. In these works Hovsepian emphasizes emptiness as a possibility of critique on the passivity of our society.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHamlet Hovsepian\u003c/strong\u003e is \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de belangrijkste figuren van de Armeense hedendaagse kunstscene.

Tijdens zijn verblijf in Moskou tussen 1978 en 1980 werd Hovsepian be\u0026iuml;nvloed door de plaatselijke avant-garde. Hij bleef er elementen van integreren in zijn werk. Na zijn terugkeer naar Armeni\u0026euml; vestigde de kunstenaar zich in zijn geboortedorp Ashnak, net buiten Jerevan, waar hij een experimenteel laboratorium inrichtte \u0026ldquo;als front tegen de beperkende normen en tamme gedragsregels van de maatschappij\u0026rdquo;. Hier cre\u0026euml;erde hij eerder conceptueel videowerk, gekenmerkt door een absurde eenvoud, ruimtelijke abstractie en herhaling. In deze werken benadrukt Hovsepian de leegte en uit hij tegelijk kritiek op de passiviteit van onze maatschappij.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"AM","place":"Ashnak","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}}]}
