Monmouth College art exhibition is an opportunity to talk about Turkiye

by Barry McNamara

Monmouth, Ill. (03/12/2025) — To be "in flux" is an expression that means something is in a state of constant change or instability.

For Turkiye - where even the official spelling of the country's name changed in 2021 - much of that instability is near its borders.

"Lines in Flux," the current art exhibition on display in the Len G. Everett Gallery in Monmouth College's Hewes Library, is a collection of simultaneous responses to the unpredictable and constantly changing borders between Turkiye and the countries around it.

The exhibition will be on display through April 4, when a closing reception and artist talk in scheduled. The reception will be from 3-4:30 p.m., with the talk at 3:30 p.m. The exhibition, reception and talk are all free and open to the public.

"Kevin Cox, the artist who's putting the show together, is a recent graduate of Knox College from Turkiye who is returning to the area to install his work and the work of others in our gallery," said Monmouth art professor Stacy Lotz. "It should be an interesting show."

The collection of works is a direct response to the artists' lived experiences in the changing landscape. In the wake of events in the past two years in the area, the collaboration tells the stories of the voices that got lost among the turmoil of the world. "Lines in Flux" aims to connect communities of people who would not have interacted otherwise.
