Paradise - Kutlug Ataman

On Friday 25 January, The UK premiere of three major recent works by Kutlug Ataman will take place at the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston.

The Exhibition continues until April 26, with free admission.

The event is kindly supported by Holiday Inn, Preston.

With the international popularity of television shows such as The O.C., The Real Housewives of Orange County and Laguna Beach, Orange County has come to represent a certain kind of paradise in the minds of millions of people who have never been there. In response to this phenomenon, artist Kutlug Ataman's new multi-channel video installation, Paradise, explores the construction of both the myth and reality of Southern California. Co-commissioned by Harris Museum & Art Gallery Preston, Paradise has its UK premiere at the gallery in January 2008 and will be a highlight of a larger presentation of past work by Ataman.
