BORDERLINE by Nevin Aladağ

Art Space Pythagorion presents a solo show by artist Nevin Aladağ.
Titled Borderline, the exhibition will focus on the island‘s particular location, only eight hundred meters away from Turkish mainland, on the border between Europe and Asia. Through a set of video works, sound pieces and spatial interventions, temporalities such as borders and border transgressing, cultural identity and the notion of home, “proximity” and “distance” – which are anyway pertinent in Aladağ’s work – will be re-visited and discussed anew.
