Books & Magazines

For Doug Aitken’s monographic exhibition Naked City at Borusan Contemporary, artworks covering the period from 2006 to 2024 are exceptionally brought together to create a site-specific journey through the architecture. Since the 1990s, the internationally renowned American artist has been pushing the boundaries of the forms in which art can exist, investigating the intricacies and ambivalence of modern life and hyper-connectivity, the meaning of freedom in neoliberalist globalized society and its possible consequences on isolation, as well as the increasingly porous relationship between humans and technology. By putting people at the heart of his stories, he creates experiences that confronts the individual with the landscape and with others. With a tinge of 1960s utopia, the American artist seeks to reinvent a free and harmonious society, approaching every project in a unique, all-embracing, complete way. Verging on the sublime, his artworks are about living, reproducing moments of grace and collective dazzle.

"The work I make proposes questions. It allows the viewer to step away and have a reflection on themselves, to form an idea, an echo and reverberation over time, or to be in discussion with an artwork." - Doug Aikten
