Edition
Nevin Aladağ, Screen, 2017
Jali is a work of Turkish artist Nevin Aladağ, produced 2017 in the Sitterwerk’s guest studio for the Documenta 14. As support of the project and the Sitterwerk an edition of single bricks was made which is on sale at the Sitterwerk.
Keeping out and letting in, showing and concealing, intimacy and display are important themes in Nevin Aladağ's work. In cooperation with the Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen Aladağ developed her contribution for the Documenta with light and sight-permeable ceramic bricks, glazed in subtle pastel shades and stacked in a screen-like manner, drawing a filigree, yet firm and insurmountable barrier through the Landesmuseum in Kassel. The different clay elements are inspired by Moroccan, Japanese, and European lattice and window ornaments.
