Affirmative World

“Affirmative World” which consists forty-two works from eighteen artists, by redefining ethical protocols, norms and the world of values this exhibition roams among different paths of criticizing and pursuit of solutions with reference to philosopher Rosi Braidotti’s Affirmative Ethics and Affirmative Politics concepts. When human consciousness and thought imageries pass through a beyond-human atmosphere they leave destructive acts and this exhibition renders them into timeless, empty stains that can be seen on white space. Exhibition, tries to get rid of the negativity of subjectivity that was shaped through language, history and discourse and then questions the possibility of strengthening different ways of connecting it to an affirmative otherness and the possibility of converting it into an energy of life. Exhibition, which is composed of artists whose approach to plastic is the opposite of each other, by feeding on the negativity of critical thought and by considering this negativity as an opportunity to create a new society, gives this negativity a carnivalesque feeling.

By focusing on the relationality of multiple ecologies/materials within the beyond-human world, exhibition chases an emotion that commonizes different pursuits.
