Artist Ali Emir Tapan offers vistas from ‘Another World’

For İstanbul-based contemporary artist Ali Emir Tapan, “There is Another World” -- one that is full of various connotations, created by taking objects from the real world and making them objects that can only exist in dreams. 

“There is Another World” is the title of Tapan's newest solo exhibition that opened late March at the Galerist art gallery in İstanbul. This is the second solo show by Tapan at the Tepebaşı-based gallery following 2013's “Perfect Day.”

Carsten Nicolai - Strange Attractors

Most of us know some basic laws of physics: for example, “energy is never created or destroyed,” “every force has an equal and opposite reaction,” or “light is both a particle and a wave.” But how often do we really feel these rules in our daily life? German artist Carsten Nicolai’s exhibition ‘Strange Attractors’ brings them to the naked eye, showing us the hidden powers of the material world.
