Cevdet Erek works with migratory nature of the contemporary art community that moves individuals away from their homes in order to participate. Erek's sculpture comes out of the wall and functions as an awning. The awning is cut in a way that its shade reads as an adapted text from monuments for International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War built around Europe.
IN HONOR OF COUNTLESS PEOPLE , WHO LEFT THEIR HOMELANDS TO , CREATE FREELY IN THE HEROIC , STRUGGLE FOR ART. MANY FELT , ALONE, ISOLATED AND LIKE LOSERS. , BUT NEVER SURRENDERED. THEIR EXAMPLE INSPIRED THE WORLD.
