Special commission -With the support of the Goethe-Institut Istanbul, artist Şakir Gökçebağ has created a special commission for the exhibition. Gökçebağ decontextualizes everyday objects belonging to individuals and rearranges them site-specifically into new narratives. Among the artist’s main objects of focus are oriental rugs, which he has also rearranged site-specifically in his work “Cosmos” commissioned for the exhibition.
