The Elgiz Museum, which has been continuing its art activities since 2001, is organising the 10th Terrace Exhibition From Another Hill in its 2000 square metre open air area this year. This year, as in previous years, the terrace exhibition was organised through an open call. Each artist participated in this Istanbul-themed sculpture exhibition with their own perception and image of Istanbul. Sculptors from different cities such as Kars, Isparta, Eskişehir, Ankara, Izmir, Izmir, Kars, Isparta, Eskişehir, Ankara, Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul took part in this exhibition, which brought an insider and outsider interpretation to today's Istanbul. Each point of view met on a different hill of Istanbul -Maslak- on the terrace of the Elgiz Museum.
The artists talked about Istanbul's households with uncertain borders, rising skyscrapers, shrinking personal spaces, immigrants, crowds, and metropolitan complacency. They described this city as a place at the end of many roads, a place that harbours its own roads but where the roads are redrawn every day, a place of unrest, an area that turns into a threat day by day; they tried to find a place in the city, to belong to the city. They visualised Istanbul's uncanny and most familiar form, and what it has left in the social memory despite the changes in the city and its spaces.
In the exhibition, you will find the destructive, changing living space, crowdedness, complacency and all-embracingness of Istanbul, which has been the subject of many poems and songs, which was once considered almost the centre of the world, which has always been glorified with its history and texture, and which leaves no room for the individual, and you will search for your own ‘treasure of images you do not care about’.
You can see the exhibition, whose selection committee includes Seyhun Topuz, Rahmi Aksungur, Nilüfer Ergin, Haşim Nur Gürel and Can Elgiz, on our terrace until the end of October.
