4th International Academics Exhibition

FACULTY OF FINE ARTS
4^th INTERNATIONAL ACADEMICS EXHIBITION

Maltepe University Faculty of Fine Arts is bringing the 4th edition of the annual Academicians Exhibition to an international extent this year. Maltepe University Faculty Fine Arts will host works by many academic artists and designers from Turkey and around the world with the theme 4^th International Academics Exhibition “SINIRLAR ARASINDA / BETWEEN THE BORDERS”.

The concept “BORDER”; finds its meaning in a broad framework within the possibilities of thought. This framework is again bordered by the limits set by personal and social norms, political limits, the limits of language, gender discrimination and so on.

Sometimes the limits imposed on people push the existing possibilities together with art in a strong direction. A lot of the time the possibilities of the odds, the possibilities lurking at the borders, potential openings, various definitions and queries, exclusiveness and marginalization has a way of calming us and cherishing our sense of justice.

In that case;

Do borders protect us?

Do borders make us safe?

Does it confront a sense of trust in the fight against injustice and inequality??

Can we take the risk of getting hurt “physically” or “mentally” once we’ve set borders or once we’ve crossed them?

Can we continue living “peacefully” inside borders set by others?

Can/Do “Artistic norms” limit the artist and production?

Does “Art Production” recognize limits?

Is it possible to aim for “crossing the borders” with the “power of art”?

With 4^th International Academics Exhibition;

We invite you to understand and define “borders” with the ideas of artists, views and approaches.
