In the Pera Museum: work by Norman Daly. Daly spent decades creating the civilization of Llhuros. His project began in the early and mid-1960s as he turned from painting to three dimensions assemblages and marble reliefs. Daly moved on in the late 1960s to the concepts and production of a newly discovered ancient civilization. The work was first exhibit in 1970 to 1974 in the USA and Germany. Llhuros was premised on the use of mixed media. It depended on the integration of it central visual element - a multitude of artifacts - with poetry, music and scholarly commentaries. Daly's unique creation is very much both its own world and an allegory for our world's aspirations, obsessions and potential for decline and dissolution.

The1 exhibits went on and on, and were pleasing to the eye, sometimes funny when one realizxed what they were made of, as a kind of art-trouvée or ready-made, sometimes quite constructed.
