Join UMMA Curator Ashley Miller in a tour of Post No Bills. This exhibition highlights the works of Turkish diplomat Burhan Doğançay (1929–2013) and his fascination with the messy cacophony of urban bulletin boards—produced by chance and absorbing the chaos of everyday life. Urban walls struck him as a beautiful abstract painting composed by humans, nature, and time. Over fifty years, he traveled to over one hundred cities, documenting the ever-changing discourses recorded on thousands of walls. They inspired his own mixed media works that often incorporate raw materials from the street. |
