21 NİSAN, SALI, 2015

Gallery Zilberman hosts two exhibitions between 14 March- May 2, 2015. One of them is Synesthesia by Guido Casaretto and the other one is Propulsion by Didem Özbek.

Synesthesia, a phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway, is named after a term meaning “united sensation” in Ancient Greek. Dealing with the types of perception of nature and reproducing it with digital means, Casaretto focuses on the phenomenon of sensation with his new exhibition that is comprised of his most recent works. Engaged with electronic information, various materials and art-historical references, the exhibition overlaps the different sensations with regard to the physical quality of the material and the types of perception within the concept of art history.

Didem Özbek has in time developed a multi-layered project series which she summarises as Red Flag / Blue Flag / White Flag. In this project, Özbek aims to fictionalise and question an artist’s being; how he/she positions him/herself to be able to create, produce, exhibit and sell his/her work, and the professional relationships he/she has to form in order to be successful, using Sait Faik Abasıyanık’s short story Bir Karpuz Sergisi / A Watermelon Exhibition. In her installation Propulsion, the artist passes on from Blue Flag, the project’s second phase, to its third, White Flag.
