Curator: Nazl? Gürlek
Common Ground: Water is the second exhibition in the series entitled Common Ground: Earth, Water, Air – Selections From the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection that is on view throughout 2014-15. This series includes three inter-related exhibitions that aim to offer a thematic look into the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection. It brings together works from the collection that are selected on the basis of a shared concern with the concepts of three “commons” including earth, water and air.
Common Ground: Water proposes to engage with various representations of water and a series of worldly matters related to water as a way to engage with contemporary art and the world. Earth, water and air, sources belonging to everybody and our joint property, are issues whose management bears importance for our life on Earth insofar as equality and sustainability are concerned. The exhibition focuses on the meaning of this from the context of a selection of works from the corporate collection that refer to water in terms of either form or content. It includes a variety of works including photographs, paintings, interactive installations, videos, neon, and prints that relate to a wide range of natural contexts; from noble representations of beautiful and romantic landscapes, and industrial sites, to different aspects of nature’s emotional impact on the landscape, from calm and idyllic settings to stormy seascapes.
