Nil Yalter

6 Feb-2 Apr 2015

Overview

MOT International are delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Nil Yalter in London. A key figure in the feminist art movement in France during the 1970's, her exhibition at MOT International will include significant installations such as Rahime, Kurdish Women from Turkey (1979), which engage with themes of gender, displacement and cultural identity. Yalter's works are incisive critical portraits of the spaces women occupy, as in the Parisian prison depicted in La Roquette, Prison de Femmes (1974) or the Ottoman harem of her 1980 film Harem. Importantly, the artist's documentary drawings, photographs and videos bring personal context to marginal histories.
