press release by Domenick Ammirati

The Meeting is pleased to present Seascapes (after Paul Thek), an exhibition by Viola Yeşiltaç featuring her signature ink paintings on faux leather. 

Through a performative lens, the works engage sociocultural themes central to her practice, 

exploring the interplay between place and context, personal and political narratives, 

and the porous boundaries between fiction and documentation.
