Galeri Nev hosts Canan Dağdelen’s exhibition

The exhibition “Reconstructive Memory” by Canan Dağdelen displays photographs taken by the artist and transferred onto porcelain by silkscreen. On one hand, these porcelain plaques produce different stories, the details of which we observe through the eyes of Dağdelen. On the other hand, when viewed as large “dots,” they turn into the parts of a whole, the particles of a greater picture, the “big picture.”

Born in 1960 in Istanbul, Dağdelen graduated in 1986 from the Vienna University of Economics and in 1991 obtained her master’s degree from the Vienna University of Applied Arts. Since 2003 she has been a lecturer at the same university. Works by Dağdelen, who lives in Vienna, have recently been included in the collection of Istanbul Modern Art Museum, shown in the avant-garde gallery, as well as the operation room at the American Hospital, Apel Gallery, Akbank Sanat in Istanbul, Lentos Kunstmuseum in Linz, Austria, the First International Biennial in Mardin and 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.
