Artists and Poems: Istanbul 2022

It is there where I am happy and free
And I weave memories of this world
Because your bewitching eyes
Find my eyes
And blur my vision
Like your dark secrets
That build a wall around me.

Curatorial statement

		
		

			
"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen."
			
Leonardo da Vinci
			
The tasks of the artists in Suturo Istanbul are two-fold: to search for a poem that
			echoes today's problems, specifically those of Istanbul and to powerfully
			juxtapose the words with their images. Moments described and unveiled in the
			chosen poems have clear affinities to today''s world even if written by a poet from
			the past. The atmosphere in the poems mirrors some uncanny similarities and
			concerns of these contemporary artists' works.
