Gökay Atabek
Music For Contemporary Audience nr 74 - The End
04.10.19 - 30.10.19
For its 18th exhibition at Herenstraat 14, The Balcony has selected Gökay Atabek‘s proposal through an Open Call.
Gökay Atabek presents ‘Music For Contemporary Audience nr 74 - The End’. The artist dug a grave for himself and one for Yoko Ono.
“ Since my inauguration to arts I started feeling a bond with Yoko Ono. A love that can be only described as maternal bond. The way I can elaborate, at best, would be through how I feel about V-2 Missiles. Still that wouldn't be so comprehensive either.
Where I was born, we bury children next to or on top of their mothers. Maybe I wasn't born at the same place as my de-facto mother, but at least now we can be buried at the same place. ”

Gokay Atabek is an intermedia artist and a member of VØLKSAMT!, a collective serving to burn the final bridges of art.
