Apartment Project, an art initiative producing
contemporary art projects since 1999, presents “All About
Lies” bringing together work
-paintings, drawings, videos and objects- by 60 participants from different
disciplines to be exhibited in its 23m2 space.
In the exhibition brochure the project’s designer
and coordinator Selda Asal
describes it briefly:
When you stay abroad for some reason or other people
usually prefer to ask you questions about politics rather than trying to
understand your exhibition or talking about art. This is the moment when Turkey
– a country that has made a rule of giving evasive answers
- weighs down on you with all its sins and good
deeds. Things we were taught, that were transmitted to us, things we learned
through our own efforts, those we learned from writers we trust, things we
know, the many things that are veiled etc.. a complex process_ lies, truths,
slight truths, lightened truths, strategically reformulated truths, presupposed
truths_
This exhibition is about expressing, being able to
articulate lies, pretenses and illusions we are always entangled in at the
points they touch us.
An international group of 60 individuals have
participated in the project:
