Morton Contemporary Gallery

Extraordinary night at the opening reception for, THE WEIGHT OF TIME. Co-curated by the gifted artist, Keith Andrews, from inside SCI Phoenix prison, the exhibition features some 50 original paintings. Philly turned out in BIG numbers to support the Mural Arts and these ten incredible artists. “The Weight Of Time” shares the lived experiences of these artists’ time inside - most serving life sentences. Their art provides each of them with spiritual and emotional spaces of hope and freedom. This powerful body of work communicates each man’s lived experience, coming of age behind prison walls.

Turkish artist Didem Yağcı joins Morton Contemporary! Stunning 3-dimensional sculptural art made of wood that combines optical illusion, structure, and refined color.

Didem Yağcı is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice has been based between Istanbul and New York for more than a decade. With an academic background in Chemistry and further studies in Contemporary Art and Design at the London College of Fashion, the artist moves between analytical precision and spiritual intuition through layered explorations of form in wood and plaster. Yağcı engages with the tension and harmony between Western analytical approaches and Eastern philosophical sensibilities.
