06th – 29th November 2009 // Mtaär

“Mtaär artist initiative, welcomes everyone to Aslı Özdemir, Bora Akıncıtürk and Mehmet Uluşahin’s shared Project “Home”, between 6- 29 November. Artists, try to place their artworks on a particular axis by converting the life that they maintain in the same flat into an inspiration object.Exhibition contains mostly paintings, illustrations and collages besides spatial implementations.”

…As Mucahit Bey, his wife Nebahat Hanim and grumpy old Nevzat were sitting in Mujgan Hanim’s living room, anxiously looking through the window to the dark street cordoned by the police; Mujgan Hanim walked in, swaying with a tea tray in her hands and a smile on her face which even such a disastrous moment could not ruin.

” Since they’ve blocked the road and wouldn’t let us out, let’s have some tea shall we? We all know that who goes out this late doesn’t have such a safe and sound journey.” Nobody responded to Mujgan Hanim’s phony delightful comfort. “These are bad times.” said grumpy Nevzat, “The streets are full of thugs and punks.

It’s time to stay home. I swear on my mother’s grave they would chop you to bits.”
