Artists in residence
Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Gohar Martirosyan is a Paris-based Armenian film director with a background in fine arts, performance & site-specific installation. In 2022, she finished her VR film Identity (10min) and film Unlearning (55min) in the frame of Panorama at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains. She studied in the classes of Ben Russell in France, in the course of Julian Rosefeldt in Munich as well as Artavazd Pelechian in Armenia.
Gohar Martirosyan learns to invest her knowledge into collaborative art, she is the co-founder and creative director of Munich-based Gurban Art Platform & Ground Art Fest, focused on site-specific art approaches.
She is a permanent resident of Gallery 25 in Gyumri, under the support of the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany. Her artistic development was granted by Fondation Philippossian & Pilossian in Geneva as well as Foundation Neuflize in Paris and Goethe Institut.
In addition to presentations in conventional art spaces, she makes a point of bringing her artistic processes to locations that played particular roles in history, such as the mountain Aragats in Armenia, the island of Ouessant in France, the Juist island in the Northern sea, the Mush district in Gyumri, or the breach on the Rhine river in Dusseldorf.
Gohar Martirosyan studied the complex sets of influences that participate in the building of a person. Whether they are coming from historical events, cultural practices, social connections, ecological needs or relationships with the living. Her artistic research addresses the fragile and opaque area where the public and intimate parts of our lives clash and merge, the reasons and conditions in which subjects are being figured out in society.
