Erkin Gören & Sevil Tunaboylu : Escape from Civilization


Mtaär artist initiative, welcomes everyone to their platform in Kadiköy, to the exhibition “Escape from Civilization” on 18th of September. Sevil Tunaboylu and Erkin Gören’s shared project, focuses on civilization that has been ‘reached’ after thousands of years through eastern / western cultures and life styles.


“Let the new human spirit that accustomed to live with a sense of defeat with the talent of forces upon, handle the materiality with the abstract value of money while bearing the spirit with the tangible things.

Several times each day trying to be grateful for what he has,but wishes to escape from the life that he has been stuck. Eventually, whatever he wishes, he can only escape, as long as the circumstances allow. And sure each time, he is in a position of escaping with the fear of going back or with the fear of wishing for going back. Such is the best slavery.”

‘Escape from Civilization’, is a a modest rebellion which brings the eastern and western civilizations geographically and culturally together, out of the big Istanbul.
