What do the symbols on the tile motifs mean? Why are geometric patterns used on tiles? In the workshop led by ceramic artist Lütfullah Genç, participants receive theoretical knowledge about tile motifs and then use ceramic tiles and tile motif templates. The motifs transferred from paper to tile are glazed after applying ceramic decoration techniques. Participants' designs form a collective composition where individual pieces combine to create a whole.
Note: Participants can pick up their fired ceramics from the museum one week after the workshop.

About Lütfullah Genç
Lütfullah Genç (1994, Giresun) graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics in 2018. In 2021, he completed his master's degree at Hacettepe University with his thesis titled “Transformation of Images from Personal Memory into Art Objects.” Focusing on the notions of class, object and memory in his works, the artist approaches the illusions created by psychology in perception through the concept of object. Utilizing the tension of perception by using narrow and wide contrasts, the artist produces new media and installation-based works in which he works with different mediums, especially ceramics.
Although traditionally used as a medium for functional or decorative objects, ceramic has become a medium that is increasingly used by contemporary. Here is the work of some important contemporary ceramic artists from around the world!
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
A closer look at the life and works of the artist Barbara Kruger, who is represented with two striking works in the exhibition And Now The Good News, a selection of works from the Nobel Collection.
