Change” exhibition at Bozlu Art Project Nisantasi
Runs
between 28th May - 16th August 2014
The
impact of climatic fluctuations on humankind over the centuries have been one
of the determinants of social fracture, new rituals, internal motion and
change. Developments in their evolutionary process of nature or the result of
manipulative climatic effects, could be thought as the key of prominent social
changes. Floods, earthquakes, natural events such as drought or war, trade
relations as well as political factors’s impact on people for centuries in a
line extending from literature to plastic arts have been determinant of the
changes and transformations, and led to the emergence of new art movements and
ways of thinking. In all of these processes the corresponding artists express
their ties directly or indirectly to the environment through art, and also “Climate
Change” concept which has multifaceted meanings affects them as individuals and
their subjective experiences of the assets located in the inner climate change.
