Make Your Mark Gallery: Kadir “Amigo” Memiş - Behind The Letters, Between The Notes
Make Your Mark Gallery, in collaboration with Flow Festival, presents Kadir Amigo Memiş’s first exhibition in Finland. Titled Behind The Letters, Between The Notes, the exhibition features unique works and silkscreen prints.
Memiş (born in 1974) describes himself as an “urban nomad,” collecting gestures, lines, colours, and sounds from the cities he moves through and translating them onto paper. His drawings put calligraphy into direct conversation with graffiti, treating the line of a letterform the same way he treats the line of a body in motion, as something reaching for a form where intuition and reflection meet.
For Memiş, there is no real separation between dance and drawing, performance and mark-making: both are ways of writing the body’s memory into space. Behind The Letters, Between The Notes takes its title from exactly this territory; the exhibition sits in the gap where language becomes gesture and rhythm becomes image, letters and notes both understood as scores for movement.
