Istanbul Modern, To Jan22, 2012
Recent works by six younger generation female artists from Turkey. The artists not only deal with the philosophical, socio-cultural, individual, and artistic aspects of uncanny encounters through their visual narratives, but they also explore the possibilities of photography today. The scope of this research will be extended by a series of conversations and meetings featuring the artists and experts.

Braided Together: Hair in the Work of Contemporary Women  
New Hall, Cambridge University, UK
15 January 2012 - 11 February 2012
    
The exhibition Braided Together brings together ten international contemporary women artists who each investigate the symbolic meaning of hair in their artwork.  The exhibition is the first of its kind to consider hair and women artists, and will  investigate concerns such as fragility, power and loss. In partnership with the exhibition, there will be a catalogue with essays from invited writers specializing in this field -- this will broaden the issues raised by the exhibiting artists and link the debate back to a wider art historical context.
