Der armenische Künstler
Mkrtich Tonoyan (Jahrgang 1974) hat als junger Kunststudent mit mehreren
Kommilitonen von 1990 bis 94 im Krieg um die Exklave Berg-Karabach gekämpft
und viele seiner Freunde dabei verloren. Seitdem setzt er sich in seiner
Kunst unter anderem mit den Schrecken von Kriegstod, Zerstörung und
Verzweiflung auseinander.
Parallel zu seiner Ausstellung im Stuttgarter Kunstverein wird Tonoyan
in der Oberwelt mit privaten Materialien über diese schwere Zeit
der kleinen jungen armenischen Republik und seine Erfahrungen, sowie aus
dieser Perspektive über eine zeitgenössische Geschichte künstlerischer
Verarbeitung berichten.

From 1990 to 1994,
while the Armenian artist Mkrtich Tonoyan (born 1974) was a young art
student, he fought, together with many classmates, in the war over the
region of Nagorno-Karabakh. He lost numerous friends there.
Since then, his work has explored, among other things, the horror of death in war, destruction and despair.
In his exhibition in Oberwelt, which runs parallel to his exhibition in Stuttgart Kunstverein, Tonoyan will use private material to give an account of this difficult time in the small, young Armenian republic, and of his experiences. Coming from this perspective, he will also tell a contemporary story of using art as a means of processing events.
