Part of the first edition of the Salt Artistic Research and Production Grant Program, organized in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation, Meshwork will be interpreted through exhibition tours led by artist Merve Mepa.
In Meshwork, Mepa weaves a multifaceted structure that reflects the entanglement of evolving systems, from ancient weaving practices to the complex infrastructures of modern technologies. The installation centers on the notion of line, derived from linea, meaning "linen thread" in Latin, and explores how linearity manifests across various systems. It reveals how centralized network environments, where connections are concentrated in "power nodes," shape both physical and digital infrastructures. "Meshwork," from which the installation takes its title, refers not to a network of connections but to interwoven lines of growth that are in constant flux. This perspective, framed by anthropologist Timothy Ingold, suggests that things emerge through life processes and that the focus on processes of life and creation foregrounds interconnected flows over fixed locations.
The tours will take place on Wednesday, May 28 at 18.30 and Saturday, June 14 at 14.00. The program will be held in Turkish and each tour is limited to 20 participants. Click here to register.
