The Parsonage is proud to host the first solo exhibition by Güler Ates in the United States. Ates’ multidisciplinary work includes video, photography, printmaking, and performance, through which she explores a constellation of themes, including diasporic experience, the ambiguities of domestic space, and the tragic legacies of colonialism. 

She is best known for her photographs of mysterious figures in shimmering veils, drifting ambivalently through historic spaces. A stunning selection of these photographs form the core of The Parsonage exhibition, alongside a new collaborative sound installation.

Ates has held residencies and exhibited widely around the world from Naples to Porto, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, and Okinawa.  Her works are in collections including the UK Government Art Collection, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Royal Academy of Arts, Huis Marseille Museum for Photography, Museum Van Loon in Amsterdam, the Museum of Oriental Art in Turin, and the Museu de Arte do Rio in Brazil.

The exhibition is made possible through the generous sponsorship of DG Art Project (Piyalepaşa Mh. Derviş Gülbaba Sk. No: 2/A, Beyoğlu, İstanbul).
