- This book accompanies Nilbar Güreş’s solo exhibition Velvet Stare at Arter, opening with curator Emre Baykal’s text More Than One Nilbar. In his essay, Baykal sets out the conceptual framework of the exhibition while tracing the artist’s multilayered practice, in which humans, animals, plants, and mythological figures are intertwined and presented within ever-shifting relationships. The publication also features Silvia Eiblmayr’s essay Nilbar Güreş: Angels of Anarchy, which discusses the artist’s creation of visually and metaphorically unfathomable scenes that embody rebellious resistance and political partisanship. Lora Sarıaslan’s essay Mapping Nilbar Güreş focuses on the artist’s video Stranger (2004–2006), foregrounding the powerful discourse Güreş articulates through her own experiences of othering as she maps the city of Vienna with her body.
