The artist duo :mentalKLINIK, originally from Istanbul but based in Brussels, began collaborating in 1998. Their approach is reactive and flexible in terms of process, production, roles, conception, and presentation. This is reflected in their vocabulary, which relates to diverse references and backgrounds. Their work is a combination of contradictions and paradoxes, sometimes dark and humorous, but also autonomous and concerned with the impact of accelerated capitalism and the invisible dynamics that govern our daily lives. :mentalKLINIK's works are humorous and joyful at first glance, but also violent, abrasive, and highly critical of the world we live in. They avoid themes such as identity, history and memory, and their work ranges from immersive installations to sculptures and objects that defy categorization. The duo has participated in major international exhibitions including Tomorrow Now at MUDAM, Luxembourg in 2007, PuFF at Art Basel 40 (2009), Art Unlimited in Switzerland, and solo museum shows such as Fresh-Cut (2013) at MAK, Vienna and Co-operation Would be Highly Appreciated (2015) at SCAD Museum in Georgia, USA. Some of their solo gallery shows include That's Fucking Awesome curated by Jérôme Sans at Galerist Istanbul in 2011, Thank You For your Cooperation (2014) and Truish (2017) at Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde, Dubai, 83% Satisfaction Guaranteed (2015) at Louise Alexander Gallery in Porto Cevro, Italy, Catastrophically Gorgeous (2018) curated by Yasmina Reggad at Eugster || Belgrade, Serbia and Obnoxiously Happy (2018) curated by Jérôme Sans at La Patinoire Royale / Galerie Valérie Bach, Brussels.
