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!…

Well...It's been a while that I haven't had time or will to write anything here. I was very busy ''Chapulling''. I tried to spend all my possible time with the young people resisting in the park, here in TAKSIM, ISTANBUL. I know they DON'T NEED me BUT I know that being there in the park or at the TAKSIM SQUARE is very important to show the government that we resist!!! We are all together despite all the effort they put in dividing us. Who is US? We are PEOPLE!!! We love our differences, we…

Today at ARTS-In Istanbul we had a different day. Generally we have a very cheerful atmosphere in the gallery and we are always in a very very positive mood. Bu today was somehow different.

Seeing all those beautiful, clever, shocking, unique, classical, modern, abstract, conceptual artworks…

Today is a special day for me! Because I received my first ''personal'' mail art piece... Keith S. Chambers sent me a very impressive artwork and a package of goodies... Things like stamps, cigar labels and some headlines from newspapers...I am definitely going to use them for my artworks...Thank you Keith!!! YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL FOR ME! …

Everything started last autumn.

I started to join ARTS-IN team for my activities and MERAL, the motivator, told that there was this project of art in MİLANO. It was my first ''THING''... The good thing was that every single art work sent there, was going to be displayed at an art gallery in MİLANO. The place was of ASSOCIAZIONE CIRCUITI DINAMICI... If you google them, you'll see that this is a very active art and design projects association. I love them. They are honest and serius about…

Well...It's been a while that we, four of us, didn't come together at the gallery. We all had our reasons... First of all Türkan's brother, who lives in Izmir, had an operation and Türkan was naturally busy to take care of the patient and the rest of the family. Hilal, who has a very talented son, is always busy, she runs here and there to keep everything in order. She was at the gallery on Tuesday BUT I was not there... I had a ''GIRLS BREKFAST'' at my best friends house, with 5 other…
