Curatorial Statement
Pashmin Art Consortia in cooperation with different art museums around the world actualize the “Pashmin Art Circulation� Projects wherein artists from different countries participate. The achievements of each artist are seen in his or her individual and national artistic language. To understand the unfamiliar means, to learn about the cultural backgrounds, to perceive and to accept the differences, and at the same time to discover the similarities, the exhibitions show a wide range of exhibits from the categories of sculpture, painting, photography, installation, video art, etc.
The theme of the exhibition is “Worlds Meet Each Other - Art, Cultures and Friendship in Contemporary world�. This exhibition will show how influential art is in binging cultures together for friendship between different cultures. This will help us have a better world for future generations. The intention of this exhibition is to begin the intellectual and artistic exchange between diverse cultures and continue to contribute to this cultural exchange in future.
Sculptures, paintings, photographs and other media that represent the selected artists in their both national and individual art languages are to be exhibited. They convey their curiosity and desire to build their own contribution to the dialogue. Here every artist is marked by his/her own original, individual artistic vocabulary and understanding, and yet his/her position on the whole map is seen as a sign of being together, a symbol of love and friendship mirrored in culture. In this case, different cultures are undoubtedly cross-fertilized.
