ISTANBUL - Art Basel Miami Beach is the most important art show in the United States, a cultural and social highlight in the region. It is the sister event to Switzerland's Art Basel, the most prestigious internatıonal art show for the past 39 years
Turkish artist Gülay Alpay will create worlds within worlds at an artist fair in Miami. The artist will make use of every inch of the 10 x 6 x 10 foot space that delineates artists’ booths by making this measurement also the size of her work. This is a method Alpay has come to be known for as a means of entering her paintings and existing within them. The use of space is a way visitors are welcomed to interact and participate in her world and her art.
Alpay will recreate her studio at the Artist Fair in an Open Studio Tour where visitors can enter the artist’s state of mind. Alpay has an extensive social and technological network with artists and non-artists alike and visitors can make submissions to her work within her recreated studio space. All doodles submitted to her space will appear in Alpay’s final installation, creating a multi-colored base, with all the spontaneity the Miami Artist Fair can handle.
This world made of silk and acrylic paint will offer many surprises including painting clothed in silk, that will have its last strokes of paint spontaneously added by the artist as a collaboration between the artist and the visitor or buyer. Alpay is looking forward to exchanging and fusing her volatile and brilliantly colorful energy with each and every person who visits her studio at The Artist Fair, doing so playfully, spontaneously and for the sake of peace and beauty.
