‘A Promised Exhibition’ at SALT
The most comprehensive presentation of Gülsün Karamustafa’s works to date, both in Turkey and internationally, “A Promised Exhibition” is on view at both SALT Beyoğlu and SALT Galata through Jan. 5, 2014. The exhibition takes its name from the artist’s series “Promised Paintings” (1998-2004) and puts in perspective the two disparate yet concurrent aspects of Karamustafa’s artistic career: paintings made with the local audience in mind and a more intrepid experimental practice, which coalesces with this specific series of paintings. The exhibition spans the artist’s entire oeuvre including painting, collage, installation, and video works from the early 1970s to today.
