Memed Erdener at the exhibition v,o,w,e,l,h,a,r,m,o,n,y at Hayy Open Space, İzmir (09/01/2025)
Hayy Open Space will present Memed Erdener and Betül Aksu's duo exhibition v,o,w,e,l,h,a,r,m,o,n,y from January 9 to March 1, 2025. Memed Erdener's work Accidents are Miracles, which is included in the exhibition, seeks the new in biology based on the eight vowels in Turkish. Consisting of eight pieces, this work is a search for meaning focused on the posthuman era. "When the universe is treated with a deterministic understanding of causality, there is no room for innovation and evolution. [The present is not a necessary consequence of the past. [The future] cannot be foreseen in the present." Sound must break the silence, accidents must break fate. In this way, determinism is transcended. An accident is the possibility of the birth of the [new].
