ELGİZ MUSEUM 16TH TERRACE EXHIBITION OPEN CALL
Elgiz Museum's open call for the 16th Terrace Exhibition to be organized in the summer of 2024 begins soon. The Terrace Exhibitions, where 437 works by 284 artists have been exhibited so far, continue to host the works of artists in the museum's 1500m2 open exhibition space. Every year there is a remarkable participation of new artists, bringing together different languages of expression. The involvement of young artists created a great platform for the art of sculpture. The works hopefully after the exhibitions join private collections and carry the traces of today to the future. This year, we turn our gaze from the Terrace toward new perspectives that the artist dreams of.
The conceptual framework of the 16th Terrace Exhibition, which will open in June 2024, has been determined as "On the Trail of a Dream". This concept invites the artists to follow a trail from their field of production that does not imitate the visible but makes visible what they dream of. While trail refers to what is left behind in terms of meaning, it can be layered with the concepts of the line left by the pen on the surface, the movement created by the line of the plane, and the three-dimensional form that emerges in space with the combination of many surfaces.
Throughout the history of art, the world conveyed through the eyes of the artist in reality and illusion has given way to the dreamy lines, forms, and colors of modern art... It is the projection of the world we perceive from our own point of view with a new perspective that takes place in space. "On the Trail of a Dream" traces a utopia where reality transforms into poetry; a utopia that will take us to the future in pursuit of dreams.
In this context, the works to be exhibited on the terrace of the Elgiz Museum this year will lead us to trace the artist's dreams within the physical and spatial reality of space. Opening in the summer of 2024, the application files will be evaluated by the advisory board, consisting of Seyhun Topuz, Rahmi Aksungur, Nilüfer Ergin, Meliha Sözeri, Ömer Emre Yavuz and Can Elgiz.
