Faculty of Fine Arts - İzmir Artists: Murat Gunes, Zafer Gungen, Gencer Yuzer Curator:Borga Kantürk ABOUT THE EXHIBITION "THE PERFECT SPECTATOR" The second exhibition held in Kutu V.1 titled "The Perfect Specator" is presenting three recent works by three artists in an interwoven manner within the prefabricated interior of the gallery, inviting its spectators to a new way of reading these works created independently of each other.

The works bring together unrelated images that the artist does not belong in and watches from a distance on the same surface, freeing them from their contextual meanings. Regardless of the amount of violence on the images, the density that forms when the i
