ArtMeet 2024 “Partnership”






In 2024, ArtMeet was honored with an incentive award from the İzmir Culture Fund (İZKF) under the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality. This recognition allowed us to expand our activities across İzmir, reaching diverse communities in Karaburun, Basmane, and Buca.

As part of this expansion, ArtMeet organized workshops with women living in Basmane, creating a space for artistic expression and shared storytelling. Additionally, we engaged with students in Buca, fostering discussions on art, ecology, and cultural heritage through interactive sessions and creative collaborations.

A major highlight of the year was the “Sözleşme” (Contract) exhibition, held at [exhibition venue], which featured 18 artists exploring the intersections of art, nature, and societal agreements. Complementing the exhibition, we hosted a seminar program in collaboration with Antrog, offering critical perspectives on ecological and philosophical themes.

Through these initiatives, ArtMeet continues to foster dialogue, participation, and artistic exchange, strengthening its role as a dynamic platform for culture and creativity in İzmir and beyond.

ArtMeet 2023 “Solidarity”






Nestled within the vibrant streets of Izmir, ArtMeet emerges as a beacon of cultural convergence and artistic discourse. Conceived in November 2023 as a pioneering initiative by the Globera, this annual festival transcends conventional boundaries, weaving a tapestry of creativity, innovation, and ecological consciousness.

At its core, ArtMeet is a symposium of ideas—a platform where artists, scholars, and enthusiasts converge to explore the dynamic interplay between art, ecology, and urbanity. Each edition of ArtMeet unfolds as a thematic exploration, delving into pressing societal issues while celebrating the boundless ingenuity of human expression.





Time Sensitive



Time Sensitive is a research project which has started in February 2023.

The project is looking for the source of the problems we are experiencing today in our work lives by looking back at historical events.

This research consists of scanning visual materials, reading written sources, researching the originals of the visuals used in these sources, etc.
The visual archive that can be accessed on the subject, starting from the end of the 19th century and reaching to the present day, is very telling.

Time Sensitive is in progress...

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished – Lao Tzu


We came here on the hottest days of summer, when everyone embraced the idea of a holiday and fled from the city to the seaside and into nature. Of course, escaping from the city has a lot to do with the fact that there will be a return to the city. To let yourself into the time of nature, to be involved in it and to remember, to understand… Despite all its inconsistency, rethinking the state of life in the city with a calm and vigorous mind, and going back to it with a  transformed mind.






Pendulum



How the information will be processed is determined by 'human'. Information proliferates as it is processed. Although digital information is not disconnected from the world we live in, it has other identities in the visual.






Fish Memory



A short interpretation by İlyas Hayta on the empty street that Alper Bıçaklıoğlu gave life with his apocalyptic depictions; two artists meeting in a dead end…

While the video includes Alper Bıçaklıoğlu's dioramas that make the audience look gigantic, İlyas Hayta is inspired by this empty and dead-end street and offers a critical look at the isolation conditions we live in today.






De-Structure



Human settlements tend to wear down and collapse over time when they are not used. They can maintain their integrity and function only when they are used. In this respect, they require the existence of human beings. Nothing is static; everything is in change. Depending on environmental conditions, the substance changes on a molecular scale according to the laws of universal physics.
