What do symbols and patterns express? Outside of the mathematical symbols and patterns on plates, what are some other symbols and patterns you come across every day? After a guided tour of the “Coffee Break” exhibition from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection, we study the motifs and patterns found on the rose-water bottles, mugs, coffee cups and pitchers. We then go on to make a visual dictionary of the symbols and patterns and talk about the meaning of these images.

Giacometti: Early Works

Organized in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation, Paris, the exhibition explores Giacometti’s prolific life, most of which the artist led in his studio in Montparnasse, through the works of his early period as well his late work, including one unfinished piece. Devoted to Giacometti’s early works, the first part of the exhibition demonstrates the influence of Giovanni Giacometti, the father of the artist and a Swiss Post-Impressionist painter himself, on Giacometti’s output during these years and his role in his son’s development.
