How 10,500 year old Aşıklı Höyük inspired 13 contemporary artists?
Friends of Aşıklı Society invites you to the “Lines of Site” exhibition for the answer.
Situated in the Gülağaç district of Aksaray in between Mount Hasan and the Melendiz River, Aşıklı Höyük is the oldest known village in Central Anatolia. With a history of 10,500 years, the Aşıklı Höyük excavation site is one where almost every stage of the transition from the hunter-gatherer period to the sedentary agricultural life can be traced. It draws attention by being an archaeological settlement where many firsts such at the first brain surgery and the domestication of sheep and goats took place.
Aşıklı Höyük, the oldest known village in Central Anatolia, has turned into a dialogue between art and archeology through the works of 13 Turkish and international artists. The ‘Lines of Site / Kazı İzleri’ exhibition, which will be open to visitors on Friday February 4th, 2022 at the Historical Hüsrev Kethüda Bath, can be visited until February 25th.
