Mike Berg, has been presenting his art in a diverse range of medium and techniques from acid etching, laser cut, water jet iron works as well as drawings, textiles and sculptures at Galeri Nev since 2003. In this show the artist will exhibit a single monumental sculpture. Working with the idea of a “Cage”, the current sculpture takes a different approach to a theme from his previous exhibition, Simple Geometry.

The process itself is the art to Mike Berg who describes his method of working as “starting with an idea or a set of rules for a procedure and seeing where it will go”. In this process he synthesizes the contrasting features of distinct cultures and historical cross sections with his personal art historical understanding. Through this sythesis he conceives his works that are determined both by calculations and chance, and makes an ironic attribution to future.

Opening on January 16 at Galeri Nev İstanbul, the work is on exhibit through February 21, 2015.
