Exhibition Information

			What is work for an artist? What is the difference between an artist's work and any other work? This exhibition started with these questions. The current pandemic situation sweeping the global community brings this topic back to something very special. It's not the idea but the body that suffers from the corona-virus. The 14 writers who introduced themselves to the exhibition had to engage in a fierce battle with the world they faced in their own different experiences of the world. What they have in common is that their attitudes in the world and the resulting nature of their work have made it slow or difficult to jump on or claim to be heroes. However, because of that delay, they were able to stay as art workers and qualify for inclusion in the memories of the next generation and century. Their stories include things that are sufficiently universal to become the new international art canon of the post-Corona era. I hope this exhibition will serve as an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between artists and their work.
