Hour: 15.00

Speakers: Ezgi Bakçay, Gurur Birsin

Within the scope of Gurur Birsin's solo exhibition titled 'The Wreck of Time, an exhibition talk will be held with the Ezgi Bakçay and Gurur Birsin on October 9th Saturday, at 15.00, at Mixer.

The event will be simultaneously broadcast live on Instagram.

“The Wreck of Time” brings together the peinture works that make up a large part of Gurur Birsin’s artistic practice, as well as his drawings and an engraving work. In addition to the technical details of the artist's works in the exhibition, abandoned spaces, perceived as pessimistic at first glance, stand out. Even though the paintings are independent of each other, the overall impression of the exhibition is reminiscent of a post-disaster scenario. In images whose time and place cannot be defined, we occasionally encounter objects and people. Each painting can be viewed as parts of a movie with no specific narrative outside the ordinary. The pessimistic tones, ruins, debris and derelict structures that stand out in the paintings express the projection of human perception and mood rather than the description of an event. At the center of Gurur Birsin’s paintings are the social and political atmosphere that today's people are exposed to, the common negative emotions caused by the wrongful practices of authorities over individuals and cities, and the subsequent unknown end. However, Birsin offers hope for the future with serenity and light, treating them with technical details equal to the uneasy atmosphere created by obscurity and destruction in the paintings.
