Old Windows Transformed into an Urban Memory Artwork at Yanköşe
Artist Tunca brought together wooden windows collected from old houses in the Ayvalık region to create a shared urban memory artwork at Yanköşe.
Artist Tunca has transformed salvaged wooden windows from old houses in and around Ayvalık into a shared archival material symbolizing urban memory at Yanköşe.
Memory and Found Objects in Art
Focusing on issues of memory, history, transformation, and remaining traces in his works, Tunca sets out from historical remains and found objects. Wooden windows collected from old houses in and around Ayvalık are utilized in this process.
Urban Memory and Archival Process
The artist states that rather than merely repurposing the windows, he brings them side by side like archival material. Through stages of collecting, classifying, and seeing relationships, he works with pieces remaining from the city's past.
The Tenth Year of the Yanköşe Project
Kahve Dünyası General Manager Kaan Altınkılıç emphasized that the Yanköşe project is entering its tenth year. It is hoped that the projects will set an example and provide public benefit in other areas.
