Nevin Aladag
b. 1972, Turkey
By installing her curtains on the outside of some windows of the Hunt Museum, Nevin Aladag creates various contradictions. She uses a device mainly found in a private setting for a public space, inserting something which is supposed to be hung inside a room externally. The Hunt Museum collection was originally a personal and private one, and the suggestion of the domestic context in a public space is appropriate. By installing the curtains, which are slightly oversized, Nevin Aladag creates a surreal setting which negotiates aspects of exposing and hiding.
