Sergi Detayı

Pi Artworks Istanbul presents the long-standing collaboration between Nancy Atakan and Dilek Aydın in their first joint exhibition, Sweet Separation. Running from 17 September to 31 October, the exhibition lays out a shared field of thought formed around the experience of birth, motherhood and creative production. Sweet Separation is an interdisciplinary exhibition that addresses the profound, transformative and paradoxical nature of birth through the eyes of women working in creative fields. Birth is, at its core, an act of separation, the threshold moment at which mother and child are physically parted from one another. Yet this separation is not only an ending; it also marks a beginning, one from which a new life, new identities and new creative paths take root. The exhibition brings together a new video work titled Sweet Separation, a sculptural installation composed of portrait postcards, an installation of baby blankets embroidered with personal texts, a neon work reading Bye Bye Baby, and two earlier video works by Nancy Atakan, Homage to Myrna Lewis and Mersin Hastanesi. Together, these works make visible the traces that the experience of birth leaves on women's personal and creative lives, drawing intimate narratives and artistic ways of thinking into the same space.
