FROM DAY TO DAY
Aret Gicir’s third solo exhibition, "From Day to Day", will take place at the Galata Greek School from May 7 to June 4, 2016, in collaboration with Öktem&Aykut. The opening is on May 7, Saturday, between 16:00 - 19.00.
The
exhibition titled "From Day to Day" departs from a diagnosis:
frontotemporal dementia. This is the medical condition that has led the
Istanbul Armenian Patriarch Mesrob II (Mesrob Mutafyan) to an
unconscious and bed ridden existence for years. It is also the point of
origin for Aret Gicir’s subsequent peregrinations into memory, history,
forgetting, and a time suspended between life and death.
Its
title inspired by the first published poem of Garbis Cancikyan, the
exhibition elicits parallels between, on the one hand, the lost
consciousness of the Patriarch and the surrounding suspicions in regard
to it cause, and on the other hand, the fading away, from day to day, of
a traumatised collective memory.
