Talk this Friday! Seramik sanatçısı Kay Aplin, British Council – Connections Through Culture Programı desteğiyle araştırma yapmak üzere Çanakkale’de. Kentin kültürel, doğal ve tarihsel dokusuna odaklanan bu süreçte Aplin, mekanla kurduğu ilişkiyi seramik aracılığıyla yeniden düşünmeye ve üretmeye yöneliyor.

10 Nisan Cuma günü StudioMAHAL’de gerçekleşecek sanatçı sunumunda, Kay Aplin seramik pratiğini, malzeme ile ilişkisini ve farklı coğrafyalarda yürüttüğü mekan-odaklı çalışmalarını paylaşacak.

Brighton, Birleşik Krallık’ta yaşayan Kay Aplin, üretimlerinde malzeme, çevre ve kültürel bağlam arasındaki ilişkilere odaklanıyor; çoğunlukla mekâna özgü araştırmalara dayanan pratiğiyle, bulunduğu yerin tarihine ve dokusuna yanıt veren işler üretiyor.
