After its first presentation in Mardin, the group exhibition “Threshold” continues its journey and meets audiences at Galeri / Miz’s Teşvikiye space in Istanbul. Bringing together the works of Ayşe Ebru Eryılmaz, Ayşe Topçuoğulları, Belmin Pilevneli, Cemil Güç, Doğukan Çiğdem, Gül Ilgaz, Işıl Esen, Kaan Tanhan, Metin Kalkızoğlu and Tuba Önder, the exhibition extends its trajectory in Istanbul.
“Threshold” approaches Mesopotamia not as a geographical territory, but as a layered surface where overlapping temporalities, narratives, and regimes of knowledge intersect. The discourse of antiquity constructed through myths, icons, and artistic traces is examined not only as a form of accumulation, but also as a representation that conceals loss, rupture, and intervened historical narratives. The exhibition focuses on the intensity produced between what is symbolically visible and what remains beyond representation.
