The Move: Starting from the basic notions of visual and aural perception, strategies of spatial and perceptual transformation, and constructions of conceptual territories, the project has found its way by exploring and building on the work of three different artists, that constitute diverse areas of artistic research. Therefore, the works of Adel Abidin, Rosa Barba, and Runa Islam have framed the borders of "The Move" as an exhibition.
Poster: The poster reflects the works and the placement of works through the chess strategies of the artists in the exhibition. The poster aims to represent the three artists and their works equally.

Don't Forget To Remember: Volkan Aslan uses the 'week' as the backbone of the exhibition. He connects each day to his own personal experiences and perceptions by associating them with various readymade objects and templates. In doing so, he infuses the days of the week with his personal rhythm and sense of time.
Poster: Some cards were designed for the days from Volkan Aslan’s diary reflecting his personal experiences. A composition was formed in which each day represented a daily work and they were photographed. While the cards imply memory and recalling, the “smiley” – the mascot of the exhibition – aims piquantness and showing the main theme of the exhibition.

Envy, Enmity, Embarrasment: The three terms brought together in the title of the exhibition are used as keywords for expressing social, cultural and political memory within contemporary artistic discourse. The exhibition aims to explore these three interconnected concepts that precede, follow and complete each other in a wide perspective.
Poster: Stairs were chosen as the venue as the exhibition itself was multilayered and had many artists contributing. A composition was formed and the title of the exhibition was projected to the stairs. During the shooting there was a cat by chance and she was also photographed as her facial expression was thought to support the word “envy”.

Hold Me Close to Your Heart: Piccinini deals with various vital issues of contemporary life with reference to today's technologies, consumerism and the construct of nature. Her creatures look often 'abnormal', 'unnatural' or 'freakish'. Their size, proportions, highly realistic fleshy finishes evoke a sense that they could have been evolved into a 'normal' human or animal.Still, they seem to be genetically modified, lab-produced mutants, albeit with friendly eyes, cute smiles and adorable poses. Meanwhile, the infant-like attributes of these creatures immediately evoke an inevitable sense of sympathy, care, affection, love and even an urge to cuddle and protect them.
Poster: In order to express the feelings that the works invoke and the unrestrainable desire to touch, embossing application was performed with linoleum technique and organic handwriting and then it was photographed.
