Wide Expanse
Centered around the culture of dining, celebration, and togetherness, the exhibition Wide Expanse brings together works across painting, sculpture, and installation. The selection bridges traces of the past with the shared emotions of the present, focusing on the innate human desire for connection and communion. Wide Expanse recalls not only the act of gathering around a table, but also the conversations, music, friendship, love, sorrow, and joy that accompany it — a way of living that celebrates being together. The artists featured in the exhibition reinterpret layers of collective memory through a contemporary visual language, drawing inspiration from dining rituals across different eras and cultures.
Calligraphic Wig
“Calligraphic Wig,” an installation that challenges the boundaries between reality, representation, and fantasy, is now on view at OMM – Odunpazarı Modern Museum.
Creatures Of Comfort
"Creatures of Comfort" at OMM - Odunpazarı Modern Museum brings together contemporary artworks and whimsical designs. Curated by Idil Tabanca, this exhibition features international artists and designers whose creations transcend traditional boundaries in painting, sculpture, installation, and furniture design, redefining the relationship between form and function. In an era where modern humans spend more than three-quarters of their lives indoors, nature feels more distant than ever. "Creatures of Comfort" explores works that create space for nature to re-enter our urban lives. The artists incorporate elements of nature and human characteristics into their creations, bringing soul to functional objects.
Under Two Suns
Curated by Aslı Seven, “Under Two Suns” offers a journey through refractions of light and cast shadows into the profoundly solar, relational, and mutating nature of our being in the world with selected works from the Erol Tabanca Collection.
Light Source
Ata Doğruel's performance, during which the artist lives in a pitch dark room for 40 days / 960 hours and sees the light only when a visitor with a candle comes in, provides an opportunity to observe social life and relations, as well as physical and mental boundaries and shifts.
Grief and Pleasure
