Meine Kleine Mnemosyne presents a new folio from the Treasure Series by Istanbul artist Onur Hastürk, showing a masterful engagement with 16th- and 17th-century illuminated manuscripts and miniature painting.

Meticulous in technique, and fluid in its gender imagery, the series “Pleasure Gardens” explores highly stylized depictions of physical pleasures embedded within the floral aesthetics of traditional miniatures.

Solo & Friends exhibitions are dedicated to one single position, accompanied by the entire current ensemble of MKM artists.

Onur Hastürk’s “Hasbahçe” is accompanied by works of Maryam Motallebzadeh, Chaza Charafeddine, Benyamin Reich, Ali Kaaf, Željka Mićanović Miljković, Ekin Su Koç, Emin Turan, Elisabeth Masé, Patricia Lambertus, Razan Nassreddine, Alexander Polzin, Chris Newman, Raziye Kubat, Maliheh Afnan, Katharina Karrenberg, Joseph Sassoon Semah, a.o.

MKM Gallery is a project of House of Taswir.
