Working across sculpture, installation, neon, video, LED, and found objects, Engin brings together a wide range of materials and media to explore both personal and collective narratives through a distinctly interdisciplinary approach.
In Exercises in Holding On, Engin reflects on the individual's ongoing search for balance, resilience, and self-reinvention in an increasingly uncertain and ever-changing world. A recurring motif throughout his practice, the playing card becomes a metaphor for the fragile relationship between chance and control, the individual and the system, vulnerability and endurance. His modular metal sculptures, balanced only by leaning against one another, transform this idea into a tangible physical form.
Comprising mirrored neon installations, textile works, and large-scale metal sculptures, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on memory, representation, the digital age, and contemporary social structures. At the same time, it presents artistic practice not as a finished achievement, but as a continuous process of inquiry, transformation, and resilience.
Can flowers be a response to the world's questions?
In her works, Saliha Yılmaz addresses the relationship between the body, plant, animal, and environment through transformation. Perhaps flowers are not direct answers given to the world; however, they can be a starting point to reflect on human communication with the world.
In her works brought together at Club Marvy, the artist treats the earth as a source of life and memory. Flowers attempt to grow, multiply, and take root just like humans. This shared state invites one to think within nature. The existence of plants can remind us of the possibility of carving out a place for oneself in life and starting anew.
