This exhibition is a revisited and expanded version of its first installation at SALT Galata, Istanbul in 2012.
Graft is an ongoing research project, which Aslıhan Demirtaş initiated as her master thesis in 1998 and later developed as part of SALT’s “Modern Essays” series. In 2013, Demirtaş received a Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts grant to continue her research and to produce the e-publication GRAFT in collaboration with SALT. The e-publication will culminate the investigations carried out in the exhibition Modern Essays 5: Graft at SALT about the technological water landscapes of the modernization project in Turkey.
