ZEYNEP ÇİLEK ÇİMEN'S “COPY BOOK” EXHIBITION AT MERKUR 

​

Young artist Fatma Zeynep Çilek brings Seljuk women together with today's women while focusing on the encounter of modern Turkish women and the story of Turkish women's aesthetic touches in her new exhibition, which will be opened at MERKUR on March 3, 2018 and can be viewed until March 31.

 

Fatma Zeynep Çilek's interpretation of her own exhibition is;

“A woman is not a millstone or a grain of wheat. It's not water or a bed either. It is not wind or leaf at all. Does not grind, does not grind. It does not join the current and drift. In Turkish society, women were not always behind the veil or the veil. The place of women in history is completely different with the fictions that come to mind when we say Turkish women. He built bazaars, markets, inns, baths, soup kitchens and hospitals; He hosted guests in his mansion. It weighed heavily on feasts, feasts, and divans. More importantly, the Turkish woman designed her own aesthetic. The headdresses, lines and clothes from the Seljuk period are indicators of this.”

 

The Suret Book, which is an exhibition of encounters where portraits, many of which we know closely, and the images of Seljuk women are combined, can be seen at MERKUR until March 31.
