Grigor Khachatryan is one of those first artists in Armenia who shifted in 1970s towards conceptual art practices (performance, text and photography). The
theme of power is central for his artistic oeuvre. Materials for Khachatryan's artistic production are his own persona, his body and his name. Implicit and
explicit interventions in the printed and electronic media are essential for Khachatryan's artistic strategies.
In March 2008 Grigor Khachatryan established “The Accidents Planning Interantional Center”: Sice then he is planning any accident: from weather to
political events. The represented objects.Documental materialsare witnesses of the progressing activities of the center, which are extended on past,present
and future.

They don’t see anyone and anything. They don’t speak. They are permanent participants of Lenin’s Subbotnik (the day of volunteer work) carrying the log through the cities, villages, anywhere. They haven’t stopped since they have got the order. They are the ghosts from the soviet past.
