Habip Aydo臒du: Notes to an Unlived History
Notes to an Unlived History: Along the Shores of Memory with Habip Aydo臒du
Is it a whisper on the shores of memory, or a sharp cry cast into the future? In Habip Aydo臒du's artistic journey since the 2000s, we trace a unique language embedded within the layers of the canvas. This exhibition focuses on a 25-year period where the words and texts the artist incorporates into his work transcend their role as mere form or color, transforming into notes left for the future.
The texts and writings we encounter in Aydo臒du鈥檚 paintings and forms from this era sometimes seep into the colors as an intrinsic part of the canvas, while at other times they emerge as a sharp declaration or a silent outcry. These words, as a reflection of the artist鈥檚 dialogue with both personal and collective memory, elevate his works beyond mere artistic objects. They become potential documents, notes for the future, imbued with their own messages. In this sense, the exhibition, guided by Habip Aydo臒du, serves as a testament to an era, one that traces the past and offers clues for what is yet to come.
"Notes to an Unlived History " presents a chronological selection of Habip Aydo臒du's works from 2000 to 2025, revealing the dialogue he establishes with the social, political, and cultural contexts of his own land and beyond. These pieces not only reconstruct the visual memory of an era but also prompt us to question the intricate relationship between art and memory by leaving a note for a future yet to be lived. The artist does more than simply record the past with these works; in his attempt to construct the memory of the future, he takes us on an exceptional journey鈥攏ot just into the art of a specific period, but into the depths of a history that is unwritten and unlived.
