Including Ayşe Erkmen’s artwork titled rounded, the exhibition titled Shared Memory: From Çanakkale Biennial’s Memory to a Museum, the first comprehensive selection of memory and collection of the Çanakkale Biennial, will be on view at CerModern, Ankara from 25 February to 14 April 2024. Drawn from the multilayered collective memory of the city, which has been enriched by its ancient narratives, rich cultural ecosystem and geopolitical position, and bringing this special memory together with the aesthetic, conceptual, and poetic interpretations of contemporary art, the exhibition also marks a new phase in the Biennial’s quest for ‘musealisation’.
