Exhibiton in Fatsa

-
We had the District Governor, the Minister of Culture of the City of Ordu, and the Deputy Secretary of the Mayor of Fatsa for the opening of my exhibition in Ordu/Fatsa. I've never had so many bureaucrats in any of my vernissages. Once we had the mayor of Essen and the minister of Culture of Germany for the opening of the group exhibition of the Ruhr Contemporary Art Festival, but I wasn't the initial
reason why they were there. This time, it was all about my work. The opening night turned out to be a real cultural event in Fatsa.

Although, I was most touched by the visit of the students and their dedicated teacher from a local state school Yalıköy İlköğretim Okulu . These young visitors were exactly the reason why i was so enthusiastic about having this exhibition there.



here is a video from the vernisage:

...on the road again... After almost 10 years, I am having my first solo exhibition in Turkey . The exhibition will be in a small city by the Black Sea called Ordu . It makes me feel very excited to reach to an audience which is different from the big city people whom can get access to the contemporary art in every second corner. The exhibition will start on Friday, the 1st of November and will be open to visit every day until the 3rd of December. Many thanks to Painter Bünyamin Kara (bunyaminkara.com) and Avrasya Medi-Tech Hospital for their kind support.

TAKSİM'İN İKİ KUBBESİ

  Taksim’in iki kubbesi Geçtiğimiz senelerde pandemi sebebiyle Taksim Meydanı’na gelemeyen istanbulluyu iki sürpriz bekliyor. Bunlardan biri meydanın boğaz tarafındaki yenilenen Atatürk Kültür Merkezi Binası (AKM), diğeri de tam karşısında yer alan ve yapımı tamamlanmak üzere olan yeni Taksim Camisi. İki yapının birlikteliği Türkiye’nin doğu ile batı arasında gidip gelen seyyah kimliğini yansıtıyor. Taksim Camisi, kütlesindeki simetri ve meydana yönelen vücudu ile kentsel olarak meydana referans veren, tarihi su taksim binasının arkasında yükselen, ince minareleri ve parçalı kubbeleri ile son dönem benzer yapılarına bakıldığında mütevazi denebilecek bir yapı. Diğer yapı ise modern mimari akımın önemli temsilcilerinden, meydana adeta bir pencere gibi açılan AKM binası ve içerisinde parlayan yeni kızıl bir kubbe. Bu iki yapı arasındaki Cumhuriyet anıtı da sanki arabulucu olarak vaktinde ulvi bir öngörü ile oraya yerleştirilmiş. Bu iki kubbeden birinin altında ibadet ediliyor, d...
