Cheryl Donegan’s work integrates experimental video narrative with other forms such as painting, drawing and installation. Her videos put a subversive spin on issues of gender, art history and pop culture. Channeling in 4 Versions develops a dream fantasy that mixes television comedy and psychedelia, starting with the music of the rock opera Tommy, by The Who (1969), and the 1970s film of the same name starring Ann-Margret.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
