Apartment Project, an art initiative producing contemporary art projects
since 1999, presents "All About Lies", bringing together work -
paintings, drawings, videos and objects - by 60 participants from different
disciplines to be exhibited in its 23m2 space.

In the exhibition brochure the projects designer and coordinator Selda Asal
describes it briefly:

When you stay abroad for some reason or other people usually prefer to
ask you questions about politics rather than trying to understand your
exhibition or talking about art. This is the moment when Turkey - a country
that has made a rule of giving evasive answers - weighs down on you with
all its sins and good deeds.

Things we were taught, that were transmitted to us, things we learned
through our own efforts, those we learned from writers we trust, things
we know, the many things that are veiled etc.. a complex process_ lies,
truths, slight truths, lightened truths, strategically reformulated truths,
presupposed truths.

This exhibition is about expressing, being able to articulate lies, pretenses
and illusions we are always entangled in at the points they touch us.
