At the Gallery
10.1.–15.2.2026 Jouni Toni: The Cut
At the core of Jouni Toni’s practice lies a digital sketching process. The finished paintings are built in layers, reflecting a dialogue between the digital and the analog worlds. Ultimately, it is about an attempt to create order out of chaos—a need to distill the ever-accelerating flood of information and stimuli into perceivable wholes.
At the Studio
10.1.–15.2.2026 Zeynep Kaynar: The SAPP – From Gesture to Form; Participant-Led Narratives in Contemporary Painting
The exhibition explores the multifaceted dimensions of identity and language within urban spaces. The works pose essential questions: How are minority identities constructed and made visible in the urban environment? How does language function not only as a tool for communication but also as a cultural symbol and a visual marker?
