Solo for ...
6 May - 26 June, 2011

In the "Solo for ..." series we invite once a year artists who were participating in exhibitions in the ifa Galleries already in the early 1990s, right at the beginning of their international careers. Works by Gülsün Karamustafa, one of the most important Turkish artists, have been shown 1994 in "Iskele" and 1999 in "stills, cuts & fragments" in ifa Gallery Stuttgart.

Gülsün Karamustafa (born 1946 in Ankara, lives in Istanbul) is using the ifa Gallery Stuttgart as a stage for the installation called "Etiquette" which draws on the image of party around a table in the early twentieth century. Socially conditioned rules of conduct and manners are inscribed in this historical salon, which also trains gender roles.
