ART ACROSS TWO WORLDS
Does an artwork reflect a fundamental cultural sensibility, apart from a personal one? If so, where and how do we find it? In our increasingly globalizing world is it even relevant, as is the East-West duality? Artist Serdar Arat offers a comparative exploration of these and other questions through his own creative process, by way of Istanbul, where he grew up, and New York, where he has been working and exhibiting as an artist, as well as teaching, curating, and lecturing on art since the 1980s. A diverse selection of historical and contemporary artworks surrounding Arat’s own works, will illustrate this talk.
