"No after. Afterwards is now." Exhibition Bringing Together Works from the Arter Collection Opens
Inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road, the exhibition brings the idea of the end of the world and apocalyptic thought together with art enthusiasts through today's reality.
Taking its name from Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road and bringing together works from the Arter Collection, the exhibition "No after. Afterwards is now." has opened to visitors at Arter Gallery 3.
Theme and Purpose of the Exhibition
The exhibition, which brings the end of the world out of being a distant threat and opens it to discussion through today's reality, has been presented to art enthusiasts at Arter Gallery 3.
Interrogation of Apocalyptic Thought
While examining the tragic, cinematic, and often absurd nuances of the "end," the exhibition questions how apocalyptic thought is manipulated and mediatized.
Global Powers and Environmental Realities
It is emphasized that images in popular culture conceal processes that will outlast our existence on earth, such as global warming, radioactive effects, hydrocarbons, and plastics.
Curator and Artist Roster
Curated by Delfin Öğütoğulları, the event brings together works by numerous national and international names.
Participating Artists
Can Altay, Halil Altındere, Thomas Bayrle, Nermin Er, Ceal Floyer, Alison Knowles, Nam June Paik, Gerhard Richter & Sigmar Polke, Necla Rüzgar, and other names take part in the exhibition.
Call to Visitors
The exhibition invites visitors to take a close look at the reality pointed to by the word "now" instead of passively waiting for the end of the world.
