"Matah" Balkan Naci Islimyeli |
Elgiz Contemporary Art Museum continues to support artists and contribute to the Turkish contemporary art scene with 'Artvarium', its specially reserved project room.
Balkan Naci Islimyeli; who first introduced the "dress-canvas" subject with the "Straight-Jacket" exhibition in New York in 1990; continued his interest in the same subject with "Requiem for Death Girls" in 2003, "The Children who can not go to school" in Sarajevo in 2005 and now in the 35th year of his career 'Matah' at the Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art in Istanbul.
The word "MATAH" is a combination of the words Mahmutpasa and Tahtakale; the exhibition includes avant guard dress design sculptures, created from various synthetic, cheap fabrics; the dresses are designed using functional, recognizable objects that would exist in different contexts. With this process, the artist differentiates and closely examines the "dress" concept as a social indicator. Using his remarkable creativity, Balkan Naci Islimyeli transfers the general functional base of the "ready made" concept; he takes each chosen object from its accepted surroundings and places it in an unfamiliar, sometimes surprising and occasionally uncomfortable context within his art.
The new project created by Balkan Naci Islimyeli will be exhibited in 'Artvarium' at the Elgiz Museum between' March 13th and April 30th 2006.

- As is the case for most professional reviewers, many of the books I review on this site have been provided by the publisher or author, at no cost to me. I've also reviewed books that I bought, because they were worthy of your time. And I've also received dozens of review copies at no charge that do not get reviewed, either because they are not worthy or because they don't meet the subject criteria for this column, or simply because I haven't gotten around to them yet, since I only review one book per month. I have far more books in my office than I will ever read, and the receipt of a free book does not affect my review.
