SOLO EXHIBITION | PHANTOM QUARTET, ARTER, ISTANBUL

Phantom Quartet brings together Hera Büyüktaşcıyan’s newly produced works for this exhibition, along with a selection of earlier works, some drawn from the Arter Collection. The exhibition traverses the artist’s core engagement with the notions of invisibility, cyclicality, memory, architecture, the city and nature through her personal past rooted in the two neighbourhoods surrounding Arter – namely Kurtuluş and Tarlabaşı –, and through the ruptures inscribed in urban history. Büyüktaşcıyan weaves the traces of these ruptures together with imaginary landscapes shaped by fragments, echoes and voids distilled from her memory. The exhibition thus entwines different times and spaces to construct new narratives.
