Kökten Uca altı sanatçının arasındaki ahenkli ahenksiz tınılar üzerine bir sergi. Deprem, darbe, fırtına, travmalar ve toplumsal öfke arasında bir yaşamı hissedebilme, dengeyi koruyabilme arayışı. Sanatçıların bir araya gelişi gidenin ardından bıraktığı eşyaların ağırlığı yanında her şeyin uçuculuğu, parlak gökyüzünde güneş ile şimşeğin birlikteliği, yok olmadan önceki o anın tadı, beyaz boşluğun yukarı yönlü rüzgarı ve hafızası, nefesin nefesi yakalaması ile yeni bir ritmin bulunması üzerine bir deneme

From the Root to the Top is an exhibition about the harmonious and inharmonious reverberations between six artists. It is a search to feel life, to retain balance amidst earthquakes, coups, storms, traumas and social anger. It is an experiment about artists coming together, the contrast between the weight of the belongings left behind by the one leaves and the weightlessness of everything, the togetherness of the sun and lightning in the sky, the taste of that moment before annihilation, the updraft and memory of white space, one breath capturing another, and the discovery of a new rhythm.

  Lining Revealed – A Journey Through Folk Wisdom and Contemporary Vision From beadwork to embroidery, straw weaving to paper craft, patchwork quilts of nomadic tribes to silkscreen prints of agrarian island communities, handicraft techniques and everyday objects inherited through time immemorial have often been sources of inspiration and materials for contemporary artists.

Through the critical lens and creative manifestations of contemporary art, it reveals the historical, social and cultural significance embodied in folk craft and the role craft plays in reinvigorating contemporary vision. The exhibition also speaks to the importance of contemporary art in the conti...
