Contemporary art expressions fundamentally continue to seek and achieve an understanding guarantee about the living values of contemporary community who keeps growing and developing in all regions of the world these days.

 

The theme 'encounter' (meeting) for this exhibition intends to reconsider a life experience achieved directly, which is such a result filled by interactions and relations that involve awareness and body appreciation within space and time of the event that is direct. A direct encounter situation ensures the experience is authentic, measures an event as a state that involves awareness of the total body presence, reaches a possibility of present time as a limit that may be achieved by a person’s experience. An encounter does not only show the results collected and declared by the experience of an artist towards various events and experiences in his life path, but also imagines the results that may be achieved from an art expression which will be accepted by the public. Exhibition space becomes a part of the consciousness of each artist to bring the encounter experience which allows it to become a part of other parties (public), as well as reminds him of the life situation that is authentic and direct.
