Ani ve Süreklilik - Memory and Continuity

Bir koleksiyonun en az dört kusak boyunca aktarilmasi gerektigine inanan ve bunu bir bayrak yarisina benzeten Nahit Kabakcinin 1980lerden itibaren olusturmaya basladigi Huma Kabakci Koleksiyonu Türkiyede, bilincli ve sürekliligi olan az sayidaki koleksiyondan biri.
Sergi, Huma Kabakci Koleksiyonunun olusturulma mantigi, gelisimi ve öznelligin yani sira sanat tarihsel bir nesnellikle dönem dönem yenilenen ve gelistirilen yapisi düsünülerek ortaya cikti. Katalog, bu anlamda, birbirini takip eden iki kusak tarafindan sürdürülen koleksiyonun, iliskili ve farkli noktalarini ön plana cikartiyor, makaleler ve eser metinleriyle koleksiyona dair saptamalarda bulunuyor.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakci began creating the Huma Kabakci Collectionfrom the 1980s onwards. Today, the collection can be considered one of the most important and outstanding examples among the rare, consciously created, and long-lasting ones of its kind in Turkey.
Apart from the logic of creating the Huma Kabakci Collection, its evolutiongrowth over time, and its subjectivity, the exhibition was designed by keeping in mind its structure, reviewed and changed from time to time, with both objectivity and an art historical subjectivity. The catalogue, in that sense, brings to fore the common and diverging points of the two generations by which the collection has been sustained, through essays and works explanations.
