What's On

Autumn exhibition
Opening 5 October 2024

An upright, person-sized art piece entirely constructed of natural, organic materials, which seems to resemble a moth. It has purple and blue triangular wings, a warm-coloured flowery body, a small woody face, and very long antenna made of thin branches. It has an ethereal and even intimidating presence, standing with its wings drawn slightly up and back and staring head-on with piercing hollowed out eyes.

Summer exhibition
Aslı Çavuşoğlu

3 large textile works in natural tones are displayed in the corner of a white room with a window and a concrete floor. Two works are hung on the walls - the one on the left wall is about the size of a double bedsheet, and is draped and attached with strings, like an awning. The one on the right wall is about the size of a bathroom towel and is attached to wooden bars at the top and bottom edges, so that it sits forward from the wall with tassels hanging down below. The third work resembles the size of an ironing board, and made up of a long, thin rectangular piece embroidered with various colours and patterns, which is displayed horizontally on a free standing wooden frame.
