February 18 – April 3, 2010

NON will be hosting Güneş Terkol’s second solo exhibition titled They were trying to climb against the current between February 18 – April 3.

* A human-girl, wandering with her clattering memory, comes upon doctors whose pupils don’t move
And at that moment she says, may the ground crack open so I can enter, I wonder what the underground world holds. Half of humankind is there, A priceless crowd flowing faster than vegetative rhythm. Trying to climb against the current.

For the exhibition, NON will be transforming its three floors into three layers of a story: like a forced transition from night to day; our state of buriedness in the world, the underground, crowds wandering above and clouds of fog with spectrums.

Crowds caught up in a current form a giant layer of soil. In Terkol’s imagination, the current between the layers of soil resembles an intangible, enterprising organism which produces and at the same time exhausts.

The Artist, who uses various media and materials in her works tells her story in They were trying to climb against the current through the techniques of video and sewing and drawing on textile.

* The story that comes out of the names of some works in the exhibition.
