x-ist I CI 15
x-ist will meet art lovers with a collection of non-exhibited works of its 16 artists at the Contemporary Istanbul Fair to be held at the Lütfi Kırdar International Convention and Exhibition Center on November 12-15, 2015.
At the booth LK-401, x-ist will exhibit specially created works for the fair by Ahmet Polat, Ali Elmacı, Ali Bilge Akkaya, Ansen, Bahadır Baruter, Burcu Perçin, Burçin Başar, Cem Dinlenmiş, Ceren Oykut, Ekin Saçlıoğlu, Emin Mete Erdoğan, Engin Konuklu, Erkut Terliksiz, Murat Palta, Seda Hepsev and Serkan Adın.
Bahadır Baruter, who is the guest of x-ist's solo project area, will for the first time exhibit his sculptures that he created during a working process of about 2 years.
The artist makes sculptures of bodies, which have lost their vitalness as fetuses or after birth, as imprisoned forms. The artist's new exhibition, which will meet art lovers at Contemporary Istanbul, consists of works that question women and men, who have lost their lives before birth or actually turned into living dead after birth in business life's ambitious cycle full of obligations, in a form of pleading/begging to God as if part of a religious ritual with white suites referring to burial robes.
