MERIÇ ALGÜN RINGBORG
22 May – 19 July 2015

Meriç Algün Ringborg (*1983 in Istanbul, TR), a young Turkish artist now based in Sweden, shows us language –which we usually take to be contingent on the real world it names and describes – generating its own physical objects. She has constructed a novel out of dictionary's 'example sentences', and furnished a space out of objects which reify their generic phrases. Her installations embody the imaginary space that every work of fiction creates for its readers.
