On Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 1pm to 2.30pm, a talk with Hatice Pinarbaşi and the Alévis cultural center from Altkirch, at CRAC Alsace, in the framework of the group exhibition Friendship : That Shiver, That Aspen.

Driven by the desire to meet part of her community in the Sundgau region, Hatice Pinarbaşi invites you to inhabit her installation My Ter Ter that I show to the Earthworms, My Earth, My Model, My Quest and share life stories, know-how and to discover traditional songs played with the saz over a cup of tea, in the exhibition Friendship : That Shiver, That Aspen.

In her installation My Ter Ter that I show to the Earthworms, My Earth, My Model, My Quest, the paintings and rugs are spaces where images appear, highlighting the existence of other spaces of belief, geometry, illusion and interior landscapes. The artist’s canvases were produced by soaking household fabrics in natural streams of water with high iron content, which has healing properties. The artist then draws, paints, sews and applies make-up to this skin, upon which unfolds airy patterns suggesting a freedom conquered. A veritable tea room, her installation welcomes visitors and the art of those close to her the chandeliers are the skilled work of her father, the seats were made by the artist’s mother, her partner signs the building-paintings on the rugs and a soundtrack was created by a friend.

By reservation only: Sarah Menu, Head of Education of CRAC Alsace at s.menu@cracalsace.com.

The exhibition Friendship : That Shiver, That Aspen is open until May 12, 2024, from Tuesday to Sunday, from 2pm to 6pm. Free entrance. From April 27 to July 13, 2024, the exhibition will unfold at Crédac, in Ivry-sur-Seine.
