School - Begüm Mütevellioğlu
May 12 – July 4, 2026
Simbart Project
The exhibition approaches artistic production not merely as a result of individual creativity, but as a collective structure shaped by knowledge, experience, and ways of seeing that are transmitted across generations.
Mütevellioğlu expands the concept of the “school” beyond an institution where technical knowledge is taught, interpreting it as a system in which ways of seeing are shaped, modes of representation are produced, and images are continuously recirculated.

The works featured in the exhibition revolve around the concepts of repetition, transmission, and memory. Figures, objects, and symbols drawn from different periods and cultures come together to form an archival structure; as images multiply, they move away from their original contexts and establish new layers of meaning. In doing so, the exhibition reveals how habits of seeing are formed and how systems of representation shape perception.

The female figure emerges as one of the exhibition’s central themes. Mütevellioğlu approaches the image of woman both as a trace of the creative subject and as a site of representation shaped by various regimes of vision throughout history. Repeated female figures and references to the ancient poet Sappho serve as significant elements that expose the tension between subjectivity and representation.

School stands out as an exhibition that examines not only the structure of art education, but also learned ways of seeing, the transmission of cultural memory, and the transformation of images over time. Through these inquiries, Mütevellioğlu invites viewers to reconsider the systems that lie behind perception and to reflect on how visual culture is constructed.
