The first group exhibition of Pilot this year focuses on 3 young female artists that attract attention by their productions. The exhibition samples the productions of the artists with different media, at different times, and it also desires to demonstrate the failures and continuities in the current art production. The exhibition is based on the awareness and pioneering of many works produced at different times and searches for the ways to produce a new dictionary.
While the artists do not observe the privacy of the family and home as a taboo, they also do not sanctify the jobs/duties observed to belong to the woman. The invisible labor at home and those that need to be done to reproduce the home (dish washing, house tidying, ironing, etc.), make the issue visible and take on a critical tone by repetitions and leaps to the outside of the home. All difficulties and exploitations suffered of the female body, which is positioned as an aesthetic object in the consumption culture today, in the transition from childhood to adolescence, and from adolescence to womanhood are also among the subjects in the works of the artists. The exhibition wants to offer a small scale enquiry on what is happening to women today, here and everywhere around the world.
The “Day Before Tomorrow”, with the works of Neslihan Koyuncu, Senem Denli and Hacer Kıroğlu, may be viewed until May 16 at the Pilot Gallery.
