Exhibition Tour: Earth Part with Esra Oskay

Spend your Sunday afternoon exploring the Earth Part exhibition that brings together the works of Metehan Törer, Umut Kambak and Funda Susamoğlu, as told by artist and researcher Esra Oskay.

"The ground rises with the iron braids towards the sky, soaks in mud and remembers its soil, and turns into a border as we fall from our bipedal world. “Earth Part” focuses on an encounter that reimagines placelessness, worldlessness and groundlessness. The ground on which we stand unquestionably connects our thoughts to the earth. Yet, iron and concrete displace people, and the land is a world beyond our language. (…) "Earth Part” carries the reverse image of a vertical civilization in a glance that looks through and overflows from its object." - Esra Oskay, from the exhibition text
