Ekrem Yalçındağ / Dorothea Strauss
Publisher: Kehrer General note: 6 Jun - 22 Sep.2013General note: In the context of the wide-ranging group exhibition HOT SPOT ISTANBUL, Museum Haus Konstruktiv is dedicating a focused solo presentation, as well as a publication to Ekrem Yalçındag. Ekrem Yalçindag studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Izmir Dokuz Eylül University. Between 1994 and 1999 he studied with Hermann Nitsch at the Städel School in Frankfurt. Yalçındag had many solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Turkey and abroad. He lives and works in Istanbul and Berlin. For him as a conceptual artist, he does not consider it absolutely necessary that the "magic hand" of the artist is involved. For him, it is much more important that a work is accurately thoughtout, and that the technique is accurately implemented – only the two of these together produce the desired result. In the last two decades, he has devised a painting technique which, for the most part, is based on a linear framework and precise engraved fields within it. Sometimes his paintings are geometrically arranged, at other times they show amorphous structures, but at all times, the technique is enormously time-consuming and calls for a calm, proficient hand.General note: Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zürih Hot Spot Istanbul| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
