We are used to relationships of different branches of art. In fact, branches of art does not intertwine with only themselves, they can influenced by some social disciplines. For instance, Peter Doig – one of the most renowned living figurative painters- is inspired by newspaper clippings and movie scenes at his paintings. Leyla Emadi, whose exhibition we have talked a short time ago, was using wordings in her artworks. Actually, we have lots of examples from poet and painter Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu who wrote his poems at his paintings to sculpture and writer Abidin Dino’s versatile artworks… Nowadays, art does not hesitate to be in touch with technology, thus technology also comes our life practice through art. Our renowned new media artist Refik Anadol, who blends data and three-dimensional figures with art, is now bringing his third personal exhibition with art lovers: “Machine Memories: Space”
