and book launch „Handbook for Misunderstandings“
with contributions of the exhibiting artists and
Enric Fort Ballester, Allen Grubesic, Elmar Hermann, Ece Pazarbaşı, Rizki Resa Utama (OQ)
Misunderstandings are commonplace and happen every day. Rather than being evaluated as failure, they can be seen as a challenge and a chance. This exhibition brings together works of nine artists who work with the creative force of misunderstandings, and their inexhaustible potential. Here, misunderstandings are regarded as creative principle and productive trouble that encourage experimentation with standardized procedures. Without the beautiful and interesting aspect of double meanings and ambiguity, neither humor, freedom, richness of ideas, progress, nor vision would be imaginable.
With the kind support of the German General Consulate Istanbul.

sergideki sanatçılar ve Enric Fort Ballester, Allen Grubesic, Elmar Hermann,
Ece Pazarbaşı, Rizki Resa Utama (OQ)’nin katılımları ile
Yanlış anlamalar, her zaman ve her yerde olabilir. Onları başarısızlık olarak adlandırmak yerine bir şans veya fırsat olarak görebiliriz. Bu sergi, yanlış anlamaların yaratıcı gücü ve bitmez tükenmez potansiyelleri ile çalışan dokuz sanatçının işlerini biraraya getirir. Burada, standartlaşmış prosedürlerde deney yapmayı teşvik eden yanlış anlamalar, yaratıcı bir prensip ve üretici bir sıkıntı olarak nitelendirilir. Çift anlamlılığın ve belirsizliğin güzelliği ve ilginçliği olmadan, ne komedi, özgürlük, düşüncelerin zenginliği, ilerleme, ne de vizyon düsünülebilir.
Almanya Federal Cumhuriyeti İstanbul Başkonsolosluğu’nun destekleriyle.
Missverständnisse und andere Gegebenheiten
29.11. – 29.12.2012
Klara Adam, Nazım Hikmet Richard Dikbaş, Alice Guy-Blaché, Diango Hernández, Selin Kocagöncü,
Adrian Lee, Gosia Machon, Marion Porten, Gökçe Suvari
Kuratiert von Anna Heidenhain und Kristina Kramer
Eröffnung 29.11.2012, 19.00 Uhr
und Buchpräsentation „Handbuch für Missverständnisse“
mit Beiträgen der ausstellenden Künstler sowie
Enric Fort Ballester, Allen Grubesic, Elmar Hermann, Ece Pazarbaşı, Rizki Resa Utama (OQ)
Missverständnisse sind alltäglich und passieren ständig. Aber anstatt sie als Fehler zu bewerten, können sie als Herausforderung und Chance gesehen werden.
Diese Ausstellung zeigt Arbeiten von acht Künstlern, die mit der schöpferischen Kraft und dem unerschöpflichen Potential von Missverständnissen arbeiten. Hier sind Missverständnisse kreatives Prinzip und produktive Störfunktion, die das das Experimentieren entgegen normierten Systemen fördern. Ohne diese schönen und interessanten Seiten des Doppel- und Mehrdeutigen sind weder Humor, Freiheit, Ideenreichtum, Fortschritt oder Visionen vorstellbar.
Mit der freundlichen Unterstützung des Deutschen Generalkonsulats Istanbul.

August 24, 2011 #solo
Solo is a series of performative experiments in verbal and nonverbal communication that aim to reclaim femininity in contemporary Istanbul.
It is currently composed of two distinct aspects: one of tagging the streets with “Cumhuriyet Kadını!” (trans. Republic(-an) Woman!) and the other of real life performative responses to sexist pseudo-caring remarks regarding her smoking habits.
“Cumhuriyet Kadını” can be tracked on this Foursquare list.
Documentation of #solo’s latter aspect is currently in progress.
