Virtual Tour Parallel Lives, Parallel Aesthetics
The exhibition Parallel Lives, Parallel Aesthetics is no longer on display in the museum. With this virtual tour, you can still explore the artworks by León Ferrari and Gülsün Karamustafa.
Parallel Lives, Parallel Aesthetics uniquely combined two solo exhibitions in their own right: a large retrospective spanning the life of León Ferrari plus a poignant overview of the work of Gülsün Karamustafa. It brought to the fore various convergences and intersections between the work and lives of both artists, revealing the commonalities and connections between the two.
