“A way to understand Deirmendjian’s distinctive and quietly radical work is as a collection of deliberately small and fragmentary insights that fully embrace a pervasive condition of cultural disorientation and attempt to bring moments of perception into a world dulled by routine, noise and consumerist amnesia”
Christopher Allen, Art Critic, writes for The Australian reviewing NAS Alumnus Gary Deirmendjian’s vignettes on social media.
Congratulations Jelena Telecki, the 2025 recipient of the The British School at Rome Residency.
—
This residency offers the opportunity to live and work in Rome for 3 months, in an interdisciplinary research community. The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences, and the residency has been made possible through the generosity of our donors, particularly Jennifer Dowling. The British School at Rome is just north of Rome’s historic centre in the Valle Giulia which separates the Parioli district from the Borghese Gardens.

Applications for 2026 residencies will open early next year. Find more information about all of NAS` International Residencies on the NAS website.
