Burçak Bingöl's Mythos and Utopia Closes Exhibition Cycle at Zilberman Gallery
Burçak Bingöl's solo exhibition 'Mythos and Utopia' is on view at Zilberman Gallery in Istanbul. The show, developed over two years, concludes a cycle that began with 'Cabinet of Curiosities' (2011) and 'A Carriage Affair' (2014). Bingöl's ceramic works explore themes of decay, memory, and the tension between the contingent and the eternal. The artist employs a tautological approach to deconstruct tradition, transforming ceramics into polyphonic devices that probe time and history. The exhibition presents a reliquary of images and plastic bodies that disrupt traditional ceramic practice, embodying an idea of 'not making ceramics' but rather creating aesthetic disturbances.
