WBUR’s Maddie Browning spotlights “List Projects 32: Elif Saydam,” a new exhibit at the MIT List Visual Arts Center by Elif Saydam that explores gentrification through art. Saydam paints “urban scenes like gas stations and apartment buildings, then layers them with gold,” explains Browning. “Saydam’s work references historical painting traditions like miniature painting and illuminated manuscripts.”
