In our 465th art meeting, we visit Ömer Koç's first private collection exhibition “Farz Et Ki Sen Yoksun” at Arter. The exhibition explores the affinities established between different objects as a result of a collector's dreams and realizations, and the possibilities of moving the body created from the home to the museum as a space. Featuring the works of nearly 400 artists as well as anonymous works, mass productions and miscellaneous items, the exhibition spreads across the 4th and 3rd floor galleries of Arter.
Organized to accompany a singular life in a private space, the selection, which is opened to the public from a personal collection through the mediation of an art institution and a curatorial perspective, creates a world between times and forms that defies the logic of classification.
Created with works selected from the Ömer Koç Collection, Farz Et Ki Sen Yoksun (Suppose You Don't Exist) seeks to find spaces of ascension and escape in the universe of living beings, where mortality reigns, in order to dream of ascension in a world where everything has fallen and continues to fall. In the lines from which the exhibition takes its title, the poet Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) reminds us to freely embrace life by transcending the limits of our own selves, and the visitors are invited to an experience that will open the door to new searches for meaning in the objects brought together in a spatial setup without chronology and hierarchy.
Through an accumulation that reflects the playful interpretation of the collector, human pleasures, desires, aspirations of past lives and dreams
