Reimage:

Morning After Dark

14.09.-16.10.2022


 

The opeing exhibition of Kairos Gallery -  Reimage: Morning After Dark -brings together the works of 18 artists with a concept that pays homage to Robert Mapplethorpe’s controversial two-legged exhibition which opened in 1977 in New York. As well as providing clues about the chemistry of Kairos Gallery, this choice of concept also creates a solid ground for following the practices of the artists represented by the gallery.
 

Artists:

Can AkgümüÅŸ, Can Ä°ncekara, Ecem Yüksel, Erdal Duman, Gurur Birsin, Gülnihal Yıldız, Irmak Canevi, Metehan Törer, Murat Balcı, Murat Kahya, Murat Önen, Kazım ÅžimÅŸek, Robert Mapplethorpe, Sezer Arıcı, Sebahattin Yüce, ÅžANT, UÄŸur Ulusoy, Ümmühan Yörük

​

Opening on the same day with two separate invitations and concepts, the Mapplethorpe exhibition brought together a daytime fragment with “normal” artworks showing the typical photographic understanding of the period, and a night-time fragment with hard-to-watch and provocative images focusing entirely on the underground life of the city and the artist.

 

Reimage: Morning After Dark, the opening exhibition of Kairos Gallery, shows us the two counter poles that exist on and beneath the surface of its represented and invited artists by highlighting this bipolar aspect of artists’ practices and art production. This two-stage exhibition invites its audience to a remarkable faceoff between the complementary relationship of opposites, the coexistence of well-behaved and mischievous images, and the journey of art’s modi operandi from darkness to light.
