The book and exhibition are supported by SAHA Sustainability Fund. The project includes the idea for a book inspired by and documenting handmade items found in a construction dump during a nature walk. Handmade clothes, silk fabrics for dowry, embroidered clothing, photographs, documents and letters found under the concrete pile. The book aims to reveal a character in the light of these finds: a woman living in Turkey in the middle of the 20th century, who is making her own clothes and preparing the dowry chest. With this semi-real/semi-fictional character, supported by personal articles, documentation and fictional biographical texts, we aim to shed light on the beauty and dignity of traditional handicrafts, and to revive a life and talent. <img width="1276" height="679" width_o="1276" height_o="679" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1ff281ed771a13ec0bd14bbb0e675ea5585444eaaf90705eb0305c491a6768f6/eegn.jpg" data-mid="198250238" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1ff281ed771a13ec0bd14bbb0e675ea5585444eaaf90705eb0305c491a6768f6/eegn.jpg" /> Labor of Her Hands, Light of Her Eyes by Maury Vaughan and Melike Taşcıoğlu Vaughan Eldem Art Space, Eskişehir, 18 November 2023 - 21 April 2024. Book design by Melike Taşcıoğlu. 17,5 × 24 cm, 160 pages, ISBN 978-605-82087-3-5. Produced in a limited edition of 220. Daire The idea for Daire germinated during lockdown. Becoming obsessed with cleanliness, I purchased a steam cleaner and found myself looking at the egdes, corners and deeper dimensions of the walls and floor in my apartment. The cleaning frenzy turned into a very disciplined investigation of new landscapes in the living space, and the observation of man-made borders. The story ended with a novel abstract proposition of personal space to replace the concretely-defined readymade. <img width="1913" height="1039" width_o="1913" height_o="1039" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9cc867617f03f968b2a51bacd777b5bd5465845b96131cd292740fb02f31c243/daireWEB.jpg" data-mid="179569799" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9cc867617f03f968b2a51bacd777b5bd5465845b96131cd292740fb02f31c243/daireWEB.jpg" /> Daire. Book and solo exhibition by Melike Taşcıoğlu, 2020. Are Projects, Antalya, 27 June-27 July 2020. Present Perfect Continuous Present Perfect Continuous takes its title from the grammatical tense of unfinished action — something that began in the past and is still going on. It is the tense of love stories that refuse to end, and of stories we keep telling ourselves. The exhibition is an experiment in sequential narrative. A “simple” love story unfolds frame by frame, punctuated by pauses that shift between reality and abstraction. The viewer moves through the sequence at walking speed — quickly, the way we scroll through images every day — and the story is over almost as soon as it begins. But for those who slow down and return, the frames open onto a deeper end: the emotional undercurrents, hesitations, and self-reflections beneath the surface of the everyday. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42d1e73dfc1baba784a72567da64f3b1aceab74adc4823034bdc7bd69ba62896/ppcWEB.jpg" data-mid="250517895" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42d1e73dfc1baba784a72567da64f3b1aceab74adc4823034bdc7bd69ba62896/ppcWEB.jpg" />Present Perfect Continuous. Solo exhibition&nbsp;by Melike Taşcıoğlu. Casa Matei Gallery (University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca), Cluj-Napoca, 12-18 September 2019. The Sistematic Investigation of Matter and Existence The exploration of life has been a subject of science. Inspired by the diagrams and schemas, the formulas, mathematics and complex explanations, these series of works under the title Systematic Investigation of Matter and Existence use the aesthetics of these formulas and graphics, while exploring life and matter in its own artistic approach.&nbsp; <img width="1913" height="1336" width_o="1913" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1842a5298eba073c90f97291ad87a2ac03d2579b4846b6a6ee3ee554b6c5d332/systematic-inversitgation-KAPAK.jpg" data-mid="68403249" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1842a5298eba073c90f97291ad87a2ac03d2579b4846b6a6ee3ee554b6c5d332/systematic-inversitgation-KAPAK.jpg" />10 works, each 68×98 cm. signed and numbered, edition of 70, offset lithography on paper, 2015.

H2O The H2O series have an approach that alteres traditional ebrû imagery by using a traditional method to create abstract and contemporary look. Here, “the moment of creation” is explored. The water as the main medium is used to create and capture the ink. Ink on water is applied to paper several times and on top of digital prints to enhance the “experiment” feel. Every piece of work is unique and only few are exhibited after a careful selection among hundreds of works. &nbsp; ︎ <img width="1500" height="2058" width_o="1500" height_o="2058" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5313e6aaee42bdc957ddd7709fa90ca6a387c41ecb6d0708e7aa9cf2ecf2734/h2oFLORANSA.02.jpg" data-mid="68406187" border="0" data-scale="74" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5313e6aaee42bdc957ddd7709fa90ca6a387c41ecb6d0708e7aa9cf2ecf2734/h2oFLORANSA.02.jpg" />Untitled, 35×50 cm. black and white digital print and ebrû on paper, 2010.&nbsp; Layout Plan (Vaziyet Planı) This work takes a closer look at the prejudice of the layers of thought, the areas of perception, the melancholy of internal conflicts, which we actually know from someplace we don't see, but still are familiar of. An abstract cross-section of the situation and location is witnessed. Starting from the rich aesthetics of the lines in the layout plans drawn from the bird's eye view, the inner-eye view of the mind and perception is viewed almost like through a microscope. <img width="1399" height="670" width_o="1399" height_o="670" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66be3f3b09a07b156504912bbc33e8466c28c64e06abafd3b148fa367ba4686f/vaziyetplan.jpg" data-mid="68439777" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66be3f3b09a07b156504912bbc33e8466c28c64e06abafd3b148fa367ba4686f/vaziyetplan.jpg" />Vaziyet Planı, 170×90 cm. black and white digital print on paper, 2011.&nbsp; https://meliketascioglu.com/Matter-and-Existence Fri, 24 Apr 2020 17:12:13 +0000 Melike Tascioglu WORKS https://meliketascioglu.com/Matter-and-Existence The Sistematic Investigation of Matter and Existence Details: Complete design and typographic work for the textual accompaniment to BOA’s popular Literary Theory series that included seminars by Ernst Grist, Emma Canales, Chantal Netti, Harvey Lowell, Albert Alby Julian and Rita Vibeka. <img width="2000" height="2607" width_o="2000" height_o="2607" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bfad0e2a22659cd5a6e3b115dacb29badbe47013a5745befb2188c29737f3be/5.jpg" data-mid="68402976" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bfad0e2a22659cd5a6e3b115dacb29badbe47013a5745befb2188c29737f3be/5.jpg" /><img width="720" height="1011" width_o="720" height_o="1011" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12c89c92ac9180a0961514be15b091af2f379e9fd37b44324885f5ca172dd76c/2958bd70758479.5badd81f16ec3.jpg" data-mid="68335034" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/12c89c92ac9180a0961514be15b091af2f379e9fd37b44324885f5ca172dd76c/2958bd70758479.5badd81f16ec3.jpg" /><img width="720" height="1023" width_o="720" height_o="1023" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64440a7580dc3fa746707134e76dad4556304036159837460cbb013a79774a60/d845e170758615.5badd877d3b4f.jpg" data-mid="68335083" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/720/i/64440a7580dc3fa746707134e76dad4556304036159837460cbb013a79774a60/d845e170758615.5badd877d3b4f.jpg" /> https://meliketascioglu.com/Frontal-and-Side-view-of-Life Fri, 24 Apr 2020 19:50:28 +0000 Melike Tascioglu WORKS https://meliketascioglu.com/Frontal-and-Side-view-of-Life Frontal and Side view of Life Details: Complete design and typographic work for the textual accompaniment to BOA’s popular Literary Theory series that included seminars by Ernst Grist, Emma Canales, Chantal Netti, Harvey Lowell, Albert Alby Julian and Rita Vibeka. <img width="2421" height="3371" width_o="2421" height_o="3371" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da81cd6a9f6b413db0f3c4234b92ade631f35cfebf09b2a6c70588eee83b92a4/IMG_0472.jpg" data-mid="68342445" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da81cd6a9f6b413db0f3c4234b92ade631f35cfebf09b2a6c70588eee83b92a4/IMG_0472.jpg" /> https://meliketascioglu.com/Rendezvous Sat, 25 Apr 2020 19:40:52 +0000 Melike Tascioglu WORKS https://meliketascioglu.com/Rendezvous Rendezvous A series of works created with the theme of meeting, getting together, bonding, getting along, making out, creating new life.

Daire For my solo show Daire at Are Projects in 2020, I had a chance to experiment with editing and storytelling in two different mediums. I was able tell the story of this exhibition in the beautiful gallery space and also in the space of a book.&nbsp;The idea for Daire germinated during lockdown.

Yellow jerrycans, seen everywhere, are not just vessels for water. They represent time lost, bodies strained, and lives placed at risk.This book, published by DAWNING and FotoEvidence, documents how climate change, water scarcity, and gender-based violence intersect in rural Kenya. It brings forward stories too often missing from environmental discourse: rape, displacement, child marriage—conditions worsened by the absence of safe and reliable water.The 224-page book features 78 color photographs, 33 graphic novel pages, and 18 illustrations.

In a way, a “banalization of war” is instituted. The weapon becomes an obvious, expected part of the daily scenery, like houses, roads, and cars. In his book, David Leshem documents installations of actual size military weapons all over the country: tank installations in kindergartens, fighter jets, canons and army boats in playgrounds, schools, city squares, etc. The design of the book is intended to be raw and rough, the photos are shown in a “military” order with no alternating grid. <img width="844" height="426" width_o="844" height_o="426" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d68bd57b3c58e72103422e15debd3ea8e75ecba3f0881f6a99ee0e3b48a1e899/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-09.03.09.png" data-mid="218773240" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/844/i/d68bd57b3c58e72103422e15debd3ea8e75ecba3f0881f6a99ee0e3b48a1e899/Screenshot-2024-09-27-at-09.03.09.png" /> Reliquarium by David Leshem, FotoEvidence: New York, 2023, 16,5 × 22,5 cm, 100 pages.
