Exhibition Tour: Post No Bills with Curator Ashley Miller

Join UMMA Curator Ashley Miller for a tour of “Post No Bills”. This exhibition highlights the works of Turkish diplomat Burhan Doğançay (1929–2013) and his fascination with the messy cacophony of urban bulletin boards—produced by chance and absorbing the chaos of everyday life. Urban walls struck him as beautiful abstract paintings composed by humans, nature, and time. He abandoned his consular post and dedicated the rest of his life to creating artworks inspired by public walls around the world. Over fifty years he traveled to more than one hundred cities, documenting the ever-changing advertisements, graffiti, and discourses recorded on thousands of walls. They became the inspiration for his own mixed media works that often incorporate raw materials from the street.

Free and open to the public, pre-registration is required.
