Belkıs Balpınar’s hallmark experimentation with traditional kilim techniques is given a magnificent retrospective aurubf in Anna Laudel’s ‘White Box’ space off Gümüşsuyu, a perfect foil for kilims sometimes left to the natural colours of the wool, sometimes shot through with vibrant colours. Spanning 1986 to the present, a monographic book published by SKIRA accompanies Belkıs Balpınar: Through Woven Times.
