2014 started very productive. We all are very excited about new projetcs, exhibitions, arrivals and invitations from all over the world. Our dear friend Meral Ağar is working hard to put together the big MAIL ART PROJECT which is going to be organized in Istanbul on May. On the other hand we have completed our cultural tour to Vienna. We have visited classical museums as well as contemporary art spaces. We had our second SMALL SİZE WORKS EXHIBITION and the opening day has been a big success!…
