Vision Art Platform in Istanbul is hosting the exhibition “Hits Different” from July 25 to Aug. 25, offering art lovers the chance to take in the varied collections of nine artists from different disciplines.
The artists on show include Pınar Akkurt, Tanzer Arığ, Huo.rf, Mert Acar, Candaş Şişman, Sefa Çakır, Tuğçe Diri, Irmak Dönmez and Daniela Budişteanu.
The exhibit will feature the latest productions and future projects of Vision Art Platform’s artists that have been created using an array of different techniques and materials.
Among the pieces chosen for the broad exhibition are Acar's pre-pandemic scenery photographs that are filled with a sense of emptiness yet full of detail. In his photos, his journeys to natural areas outside the city provide a different perspective as he looks at the landscape and its details with a new eye.
Akkurt’s “What will we do with these plastic bottles,” which was created through upcycling, seeks to create a new purpose for the thousands of plastic water bottles thrown in the garbage on a daily basis. Creating a new sign language based on the International Code of Signals (ICS), the artist produces a new way of using the material which becomes useless after consumption.
Arığ, on the other hand, deals with issues such as permeability, space creation, existence and creation. His piece in the exhibition "Front Actually Behind III" is rooted in daily life, current events and the universal emotional states we experience.
Şişman's "Links" offers an audio-video installation focusing on the communication that intertwines in inner and outer spaces. While the interaction of these two spaces leads to an inevitable metamorphosis, it creates various connections. The installation draws attention to the inevitability of communication.
The exhibition will take place in Istanbul’s posh Akaretler neighborhood in the city’s Beşiktaş district.
