ArtDog Istanbul 29. Sayı
Cyprus, which we know by the mantra of being the "Little Homeland," and which in recent years has been associated with mafia-related names; it has become known as a center for casinos and money laundering…
However, neither this "little homeland" description nor the perception that it is a place where a network of dark relationships is clustered is sufficient to understand Cyprus. These approaches remain quite superficial, awkward, and reductionist regarding the island.
When I was invited to Cyprus for a press tour about a month ago, I paused. I was surprised. I wrote a few words and did some research on the internet. I saw that a university called ARUCAD, focusing solely on art and design, had been established. The same institution had a Rodin Museum. A gallery called Art Rooms was also part of this organization.
