Gallery Apel organizes a new group show, “clothing”, between January 19 and February 23. The exhibition reveals the transformation of clothing; from Adam and Eve's shameful stance to the current obsession with personal appearance. Clothing, as a distinctive factor between human beings and other living creatures, is used for different purposes.

Instead of garments to protect one from physical living conditions, clothing is often determined by indications of social status, gaining prestige, practicing religious rituals and cultural traditions have become primary reasons of clothing. After all, the importance of appearance results in interventions. At first, it may seem as an intervention to clothing but in process of time, transformation of clothing causes intervention to private life. Gallery Apel tries to highlight this intervention issue through “clothing” exhibition by creating a new kind of intervention to the situation.
