482.We are visiting the artist Inci Eviner's workshop during our art meeting.

Inci Eviner's collection of works ranging from drawing and video to performance and collective practices consists of multi-layered works that take their source from drawing. The artist examines how subjectivity is established in her works, especially in which she deals with the politics of power and representation on the female body. The complex relationships that the artist Deconstructs between video technologies and traditional painting suggest a different way of perception. The pattern is at the center of Eviner's work; he defines the starting point of his practice as “expressions created with lines on paper”. He builds his artistic approach by wandering around in an unlimited visual language that spans a wide range from allegories, icons, drawings and mythologies from art history to contemporary ideograms and pictograms, and constantly enriches it. Eviner has developed a unique way of expressing the collective, political and sociocultural aspects of various states of femininity, gender and identity politics. Studying the historical, discursive and subconscious processes that affect our views on identity starting from childhood, the artist sees femininity as a field of unlimited possibilities that cannot be closed to a single image, conception. Based on everyday gestures, Eviner not only questions the forms of representation and the prohibitions that bring these representations to life, but challenges them.

479.During our art meeting, we visit the workshop of the artist Antonio Cosentino.

Antonio Cosentino's works contain countless images that come from everyday life, from the depths of his personal memory, or from the visual culture of the city where he lives. during the discussion of the replacing feature of lower and upper art in the contemporary art environment of the 90s, Cosentino and his artist friends almost attempted to make an archaeology of a point of view in which the elements of subculture were questioned. Starting from these periods, materials related to the visual culture of the geography in which we live, such as boards, shop signs, wrapping paper, tiles, take place in Cosentin's paintings without dominating each other. While embracing a narrative that is both Decoupled and fragmentary, as well as whole and based on repetition, the artist's images search for a third window: a colorful and thoughtful memory space. While his memory is constantly working like an archivist, he records many things that are written and visual. The moving and playful structure established by Cosentino evokes concepts such as megacities and the short life of urban architecture, the abandonment of human scale and locality, superhuman speed and even consumption, while once again reminding us of the forgetfulness inherent in modernity.

Antonio Cosentino is an Italian-born Turkish painter. he graduated from the Painting Department of Mimar Sinan University Faculty of Fine Arts in 1994. in 1996, he founded the Hafriyat Group with Hakan Gürsoytrak and Mustafa Beet. The Group organized 16 exhibitions between 1996 and 2010; between 2006 and 2009, it founded and operated the independent art initiative and exhibition space Hafriyat Karaköy. Dec.Dec. Cosentino curated the exhibitions For the Family (Counter Art Studies, Istanbul, Turkey, 2002), Voices from the Dormitory (Counter Art Studies, 2001) and Domestic Property (Alhambra Art Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey, 1999), which also included his own works. The artist has participated in many exhibitions at home and abroad. He lives and works in Istanbul.
