EKAV-ARTIST New Generation 10
RE:FORM

In its 34th year, the Education, Culture and Research Foundation (EKAV) continues to support art education in Turkey by providing scholarships to students from Fine Arts faculties across universities who excel in various disciplines.

Marking its tenth edition, EKAV-ARTIST New Generation 10 presents a multidisciplinary selection of works by seventeen emerging artists, brought together under the title “RE:FORM.” Rooted in the idea of reconstructing form, the exhibition explores the tension between past and future within the new generation’s modes of artistic expression.

Some works trace the paths of memory, while others experiment with the possibilities of new material languages — spanning from the fragile surface of drawing to the resilience of metal, from the fluidity of the digital to the tactile presence of ceramics. RE:FORM is both a call for renewal and a salute to the continuity of art: as each new generation reshapes form, it transforms the ideals it inherits through the sensitivities of today.

Curated by Dr. Feride Çelik, RE:FORM, the tenth edition of EKAV-ARTIST New Generation, positions itself as an interface carrying both the echo of the past and the direction of the future.
