Viable presents the solo exhibition “Feral Stations” by Ece Cangüden, which opens on May 10. As part of the exhibition, there will also be a Q&A session on May 12.
Ece Cangüden is a visual artist born in Istanbul and based in Berlin. Feral Station is a site-specific installation for Yaya. It consists of 2 main elements: A stainless steel sculpture and paintings on canvas. In Feral Stations, Ece Cangüden thematically explores movement and resettlement. Her personal experiences become science fiction scenarios. Wild and unknown life forms encounter various obstacles that take on unpleasant bureaucratic forms. A playful, artistic experiment in which Cangüden tells her stories of challenge, hope and transformation. Feral Stations is a journey that makes us curious about a soft, open end.
Cangüden’s practice moves between cultural introspection, societal commentary, and architecture (she has worked as an architect for about 10 years). Drawing from her Turkish heritage and experiences as an immigrant in Germany, her work navigates the complex intersections of identity, belonging, bureaucracy, and diasporic existence.
Central to Cangüden’s work is exploring humor and theatrics as a tool for subversion and resistance. Through playful juxtapositions and satirical undertones, she challenges prevailing stereotypes and symbolisms and confronts societal norms with wit and cheekiness.
So come and join us on this Sunday in our new studio in Cihangir for the Q&A and we’ve prepared very special soundtracks created spe
