'Reality Terror By Periferi Collective', 4 May 2012, Depo Istanbul
Reality Terror by Periferi Kolektif
4/31 May 2012 - İstanbul
Exhibition Openings:
Depo: 4 May Friday 2012 - 18:30
Mars: 4 May Friday
Asfalt Kadıköy: 9 May Wednesday - 18:00
Exhibition Closings:
Depo & Mars: 26 May 2012
Asfalt Kadıköy: 31 May 2012
Periferi Kolektif, scales up the discussion that it initiated with the exhibition Yıkım/Destruction 2011 with new events entitled Gerçeklik Terörü/Reality Terror. The international exhibitions coordinated by Rafet Arslan and Alper T. İnce will be held at the beginning of May in Depo, Mars and Asfalt Kadıköy respectively.
With the participation of the team who created Yıkım/Destruction 2011, one of the exhibitions which made a tremendous impression last year, and with participation of 65 artists including 17 from abroad, Gerçeklik Terörü/Reality Terror brings together artists and works from different disciplines again with an independent collective stance without patrons or sponsors.
Gerçeklik Terörü/Reality Terror aims to create a questioning, destructive, poetical language and aesthetics against arts and life in a world where the last traces of reality has been wiped off. Is an existence against the fake realities constructed by the intertwined relations of arts and the market, of media and censorship, of politics and pornography possible?
With its poetical and destructive praxis of contemporary arts, Gerçeklik Terörü/Reality Terror invites you to question your beliefs, to find the world odd - the world that we live in and that we take as real -, to open the doors of new realities, of new possibilities, of other worlds despite all their pessimism.
Triggering a new language, a new aesthetics and even a new evolution for the new consciousness/human, the politics of mutation!

Geçtiğimiz yılın en çok ses getiren sergilerinden Yıkım/Destruction 2011’i oluşturan ekip; 17’si yurtdışından toplam 65 sanatçının katılımıyla; çok farklı disiplinlerden sanatçı ve yapıtları yine bağımsız, hamisiz, sponsorsuz kolektif bir duruş ile yan yana getiriyor.
Gerçeklik Terörü; gerçeğe dair son kalıntıların gündelik hayattan silindiği bir dünyada sanat ve hayata karşı sorgulayıcı, şiirsel ve yıkıcı bir dil ve estetik oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Sanat ile piyasanın, medya ve sansürün, politika ve pornografinin iç içe geçip oluşturdukları sahte gerçekliklere karşı bir varoluş mümkün mü?
Gerçeklik terörü, güncel sanat pratiklerinin şiirsel yıkıcı üslubu ile sizleri inançlarınızı sorgulamaya, içinde yaşadığınız ve gerçek olarak varsaydığınız dünyayı yadırgatmaya ve tüm karamsarlığına rağmen yeni gerçekliklerin, yeni olasılıkların, başka dünyaların kapılarını aralamaya çağırıyor.
Yeni bilinç/insan için yeni bir dilin, estetiğin ve hatta evrimin tetiklenmesi, mutasyonun politikası!

"Me & I:Self Portraits from the Collection"/ Museum der Moderne Salzburg: 1-3 / 1-7 - 2012
Me & I:Self Portraits from the Collection"
Museum der Moderne Salzburg
Mönchsberg, Ebene 3
curators: Christina Penetsdorfer and Veit Ziegelmaier
1.3. – 1.7. 2012
http://www.museumdermoderne.
In conjunction with the exhibition “Selves“ ofworks by Dieter Roth the Museum der Moderne Salzburg presents insights into the artist‘s selfportraits from the museum‘s own collection.
Reflective surfaces and the invention of photography have enabled people to see themselves. They allow a reflection in the truest sense of the word. Selfportraits have always had a strong appeal for artists, who use their pictorial language to depict themselves as persons or to reflect on their own selves. Selfportraits deal not only with the concept of similarity, but especially in contemporary art also with metaphorical I-statements, trying to get to the bottom of the artist‘s identity and feelings in a symbolic or abstract manner.
Some artists also reflect on their own self-positioning in life in their works. Self-observation is frequently linked to self-obsession or may even lead to self-infatuation or self-destruction. In many cases artists also try to define their own identity and position in the context of the long tradition of art history. In the course of the performative process artists can also distance themselves from their own personalities, as they become actors identifying themselves with the roles they assume.
Artists featured in the exhibition include Günter Brus, G.R.A.M., Jörg Immendorff, Friedl Kubelka, Elke Krystufek, Maria Lassnig, Arnulf Rainer, Erwin Wurm and new acquisitions by Gillian Wearing and Urs Lüthi.

Clothes convey different messages, far beyond their functional properties which protect the body against the elements and nakedness. Using contemporary artistic positions from our own collection, complemented by selected loans, the exhibition shows, how clothes - through fashion, traditions and conventions - are staged and understood in a formulaic way as a social, cultural and genderspecific system of symbols and signs and an individually sensed expression of personality. The title of the exhibition is a reference to the series of photographs Wearing Skirts by Andrea Lumplecker. Apart from clothes-specific questions about male and female identity, artists scrutinize and critically question the staging of clothes by the fashion industry whose aim is to advertise their products on the bodies of models as objects of desire and projection surfaces for the consumer‘s own attractiveness. As depicted by Peter Köllerer in his work series Architectures of Desire the coveted textiles are presented in the carefully decorated shop windows of boutiques and temples of consumerism as tempting consumer goods, according to the motto: Clothes make the man. This is contrasted with works by other artists who use discarded or found garments which show the individual traces or their owners and wearers despite industrial mass production. Sculptures by Erwin Wurm illustrate that clothes are only perceived as voluminous with the body of their wearer. Other aspects of clothes explored in the exhibition include culture-specific and historical garments, as all as the as all as the role of uniforms.

Şekerbank Açıkekran Yeni Medya Sanatları Galerisi, Arşiv serisinin yeni video seçkisi “Güven ve Güvensizlik” ile yeni yılda sanatseverlere merhaba dedi. Modern insanın adeta iç içe yaşadığı güven ve güvensizlik duygusunun işlendiği sergide sanatçılar, bu ikili gidişatı, sanatsal ve kültürel olarak irdeliyor. Küratörlüğünü Prof. Dr. Ali Akay’ın üstlendiği sergi, 17 Ocak - 29 Şubat tarihleri arasında görülebilecek. “Arşiv V: Güven ve Güvensizlik” kapsamında Açıkekran’ın Teşvikiye’deki galeri mekanıyla eş zamanlı olarak; İstanbul Feneryolu, Ankara Küçükesat ve Çankaya, Kırklareli-Alpullu, Ordu, İzmir ve Mardin olmak üzere Şekerbank’ın 6 ildeki şubesinde, Ferhat Özgür’ün İstabullu simitçileri konu aldığı “Marble Dance / Misket” adlı video enstalasyonu da izlenebilecek.
Sergide, Ahmet Öğüt’ün “Short Circuit-Kısa Devre” ve “Things We Count-Güvendiklerimiz”, Kosova-Priştina asıllı Alban Muja’nın “Palestina” ve Ferhat Özgür’ün “Upper Garden-Yukarı Bahçe” ile “Marble Dance- Misket” adlı video çalışmaları sergileniyor. Modernlikle gelen güven ve güvensizlik sarmalı 2009 Venedik Bienali’nde ülkemizi temsil eden sanatçılardan Ahmet Öğüt, sergide iki video eseri ile yer alıyor. Sanatçı, “Short Circuit-Kısa Devre (2006)” adlı videosunda, asfaltın toplumlarda ilerlemenin bir göstergesi olmakla birlikte, kazaları da beraberinde getirdiğine vurgu yapıyor. Sanatçı, “Things We Count-Güvendiklerimiz” adlı ikinci videosunda ise askeri uçakların imajlarıyla“savunma ve saldırı”, “ölüm ve kahramanlık” gibi duyguların birbirleriyle çelişkili hallerini hissettiriyor. İsmin yarattığı şaşırtıcı güvensizlik Kosova-Priştina asıllı sanatçı Alban Muja, “Palestina” adlı videosunda bir “hayranlık ve isim verme” öyküsü üzerinden isim ve imaj arasındaki kırılgan ve şaşırtıcı ilişkiye dikkat çekiyor.
Güven ve güvensizlik, kodlanmış bir beden konusu Ankaralı sanatçı ve akademisyen Ferhat Özgür, Malta Adası’nda çektiği “Upper Garden-Yukarı Bahçe” adlı video eserinde, güven ve güvensizliğin aynı zamanda kodlanmış bir beden konusu olduğunu, topçu birliğinin seremonisi üzerinden mercek altına alıyor. Acının güvensizliğine karşı, güvenin dansı Ferhat Özgür’ün 6 ildeki Şekerbank şubesinde görülebilecek video çalışması; “Marble Dance-Misket”, İstanbullu simitçilerin dünyasını ironik bir şekilde görselleştiriyor. Çalışma, suyun üzerinde mucizevi bir şekilde dans eden iki simitçinin hallerini, bir yandan bir komedi filmi sahnesi gibi işlerken, diğer yandan hayatın traji-komikliğine değiniyor.

23 November 2011 – 2 April 2012
Centre George Pompidou Paris-France
Presentation of the exhibition
by Christine Macel and Emma Lavigne, curators at the Musée national d'art moderne
AN UNPRECEDENTED EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO THE LINKS BETWEEN THE VISUAL ARTS AND DANCE FROM THE 1900s UNTIL TODAY.
From November, the Pompidou Centre is showing an unprecedented exhibition on the links between the visual arts and dance, from the 1900s until today. "Danser sa vie shows how they lit the spark of modernity to feed the major movements and figures that have written the history of Modern and Contemporary art. In a space of over two thousand square meters, the exhibition illustrates its theme with works by artistic figures of the 20th century, the founding movements of modernity, as well as the work and research of contemporary artists and dancers. Divided into three parts, the exhibition shows art and dance's common interest in the moving body. Highlighting this hidden side of the avant-gardes and this vibrant source of inspiration for contemporary art, "Danser sa vie" brings together all disciplines in an enriching dialogue – from the visual arts – up to contemporary video – and choreographic art. A vast selection pf paintings, sculptures, installations, audiovisual works and choreographic pieces testify to their ceaseless exchanges in a sometimes inseparable dialogue."

'Say İyi Bir Film Müzikçisi': Ayşegül Sönmez / 24 Aralık 2011 / Sabah
Say iyi bir film müzikçisi
Üşenmedim, uzun yolu göze aldım. Okan Üniversitesi Akfırat Kampüsü'nde gerçekleşen Ceren Oykut'un konuşmasına gittim. Güzel sanatlar fakültesinin çağdaş sanat öğrencilerinin düzenlediği etkinlikte öğrenciler genç sanatçıyı soru yağmuruna tuttular. Oykut'un samimiyetinden etkilenmemek imkansızdı. Oykut, sanatın hızla metalaştığı şu günlerde bir sanatçı olarak neler hissediyorsunuz sorusunu açıkyüreklilikle "Ben ufak paralarla yaşamaya razıyım aksi çok tatsız oluyor" diye yanıtlaması özellikle... Sergi yerine daha çok insana ulaşacak kitaplar yapmaktan yana olduğunu da ekledi. İçinden geçtiğimiz şu günlerde söyledikleri anlamlı... Okan Üniversitesi'nde bu sanatçı konuşmaları devam edecekmiş. AKM'den her yer yakın... Servisi kaçırmazsam takip edeceğim. Haftanın etkinliği Fazıl Say konseriydi elbette. Bir grup gazeteci meslektaşımla seyretmeye koyulduğum konserde bu kez soru sorma sırası şef Gürer Aykal'daydı. Fazıl Say'a Hayyam konçertosuyla ilgili iki soru sordu. Neden klarnet ve neden Hayyam... "Hayyam bir aydınlanmacı" ve "Klarnet de çok yüzlü bir enstrüman"dı. Say'ın üç bölümlük Hayyam'ı benden geçmedi. Ne Sabine Meyer'in klarnetini sevdim ne de Hayyam'ın eşine duyduğu aşkın anlatıldığı son bölümü... Hatta bestenin ilk bölümü bana Charles Bronson'ı anımsattı. Bir köstebek filmi müziği gerilimine sahipti. Say, iyi bir film müziği bestecisi olabilir...Fakat Çaykovski'nin dokuzuncu senfonisini dinlediğime memnun oldum. Ne yalan söyleyeyim... Say tutkulu bir icracı, çalışkan bir besteci. İlk kez ona Türkiye'den de bir beste siparişi verilmiş. İKSV, kırkıncı yılı için ondan bir beste istemiş. Haziran ayına yetiştirmeye çalışıyormuş. Konserde çağdaş sanat dünyasından iki yüze rastladım. Hatta bir tanesinin dokuzuncu senfoni esnasında kırmızı yanaklarından inen gözyaşlarına bile tanık oldum. Necmi Sönmez ve Ferhat Özgür... Sönmez'indi evet o gözyaşları... Özgür'e gelince her ay, yurt dışında sergiye katılma rekoru kırmaya devam ediyor. Ankara'dan sonra İstanbul'a da alışmış görünüyor. Haftaya yılbaşı özelde buluşalım. Yılın unutulmazlarını yazacağım...

Introduction: The show’s starting point is an extensive overview of video work from the last 15 years. In true Myspace/ Facebook fashion, the selection is both personalized and intentionally un-private, customized and compartmentalized yet available to all. It targets the interest of artists in investigating how images operate and construct our understanding of the world. They explore aesthetic concepts, everyday narratives, and sociopolitical realities and utopias. While some artists use the video to challenge our assumptions about the mimetic nature of the medium, the curatorial focus of 18 reasons why we still need superman will be the relationship between performance and video, what reaction the works create in the audience and the subject matter as a catalyst for dialogue. Contemporary reality is an assemblage of whatever grabs our attention and we want these works to play part of the contemporary reality collage of the viewers, to form an alternative kind of map.
Video show as an alternative map: Information we are given has a direct affect on a person's mental map of the geographical world. The perceived geographical dimensions of a foreign nation (relative to one's own nation) may often be heavily influenced by the amount of time and relative news coverage that the news media may spend covering news events from that foreign region. This selection of videos is our news coverage

'Gözlerinden Öperim: Turan Erol'a Mektuplar' Kitabı Sel Yayıncılık'tan çıktı.
Editörlüğünü değerli meslektaşım Ahu Antmen ile birlikte üstlendiğimiz hocaların hocası Turan Erol'a yazılmış mektuplardan oluşan 'Gözlerinden Öperim: Turan Erol'a Mektuplar' adlı kitabı zevkle okuyacağınızı tahmin ediyorum.
Ferhat Özgür
Türk resminin önemli isimlerinden Turan Erol, usta bir ressam olduğu kadar bir dost canlısıdır da. Zaman içinde birçok dostundan, sorununu, sevincini, üzüntüsünü paylaşan mektuplar almıştır. Gözlerinden Öperim adıyla yayınladığımız bu kitapta, Turan Erol’a yazılmış Bedri Rahmi’den Bilge Karasu’ya, Orhan Peker’den Avni Arbaş’a, Nedim Günsür’den Neşet Günal’a ve daha birçok sanatçıdan gelen mektuplar yer alıyor.Çoğunun son cümlesinin ‘gözlerinden öperim’ ibaresiyle bittiği bu mektuplar, özellikle Türk sanat ve kültür ortamında 1950-1970 arasında D Grubu, Müstakiller, Yeniler Grubu, On’lar Grubu, şiirde İkinci Yeni akımı gibi, gruplaşmaların, yerellik-evrensellik tartışmalarının, sanat, edebiyat ve politikada yenilikçi-toplumcu düşüncelerin, Doğu-Batı kutuplaşmalarının gündeme geldiği hareketli bir döneme rastlıyor. Elinizdeki kitap bu sürecin aktörlerinin iç dünyalarını farklı boyutlarıyla anlamak açısından bir dönemin analizi aynı zamanda.TURAN EROL, 1927 yılında Milas’ta doğdu. 1951 yılında İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu atölyesinden 1951 yılında mezun oldu. 1947’de ‘On’lar Grubu’na katıldı ve bu grubun 1970 yılına kadar sürdürdüğü tüm grup sergilerinde yer aldı. Akademi mezuniyetinin ardından 1952-1960 yılları arasında Diyarbakır Ziya Gökalp Lisesi’nde resim öğretmeni olarak çalıştı. 1960 yılında Ankara’ya göç etti ve ardından 1961-1962 yılları arasında sanat çalışmalarını Paris’te sürdürdü. Ulus Gazetesi’nde 1970 yılından itibaren ‘Defterimden’ adlı köşe yazılarını yayınlamaya başladı. İlerleyen yıllarda Türk resmi üzerine yazıları Ulus Gazetesi’nin yanı sıra, Dost, Yeni Dergi, Özgür İnsan, Politika, Türk Dili Dergisi ve Boyut gibi pek çok yayında yer aldı.1980 yılında Günsel Renda ile birlikte ‘Çağdaş Türk Resim Sanatı Tarihi’ adlı kitabı kaleme aldı.

'Choosing Another Strategy': Machine Raum / 13 October 2011 Vejle/ Denmark
| Introduction |
| Machine-RAUM 2011 Choosing another Strategy |
On the 13. October Machine-RAUM will open its second international festival of video art and digital culture in Vejle. The intension behind the theme for 2011, Choosing another Strategy, is motivated by a wish for openness and new thinking, both as regards experimentation and taking on responsibility for a globalised future. This theme expresses a wish for dialogue and democracy between artists and art works across social, ethnic, political and cultural strategies. The festival encompasses works that, in their different ways, demonstrate alternative ways to deal with everyday life and alternative ways to deal in the world. The special thing about art is that it is not bound by the obligations of journalism or documentation when it comes to contemporary issues, and therefore it is able to come up with new strategies. The works show this in different ways, in everything from conceptual videos, short fictive gimmicks to performative actions documented on video. With the vision of seeking out alternative strategies Machine-RAUM presents a number of artists and art art curators from parts of the world that are currently undergoing enormous changes, and therefore have a need for dialogue and communication extending beyond the political. Thus the festival feels the pulse of the way in which art and artists act some of the world’s crisis areas. There will also be a showing of video works by European artists and art students from Denmark and Germany. In these countries the political situation is very different, but the relation between art and politics is still an issue. It is the intention of Machine-RAUM to function as a platform and venue for artists working with video and digital culture. During the festival the exhibiting artists will present their works and through artist talks open up the possibility of discussion and the sharing of experiences. Students from art academies in Denmark and Germany will present their works and offer their proposals regarding a new generation’s way of working with digital media. Machine-RAUM is a non-profit organisation. Directors and curators, Hanne Nielsen & Birgit Johnsen Project coordinator, Lene Noer

'Video Collage: DAZ / Architect's association, Jelacic Square 3-Zagreb- Croatia
VIDEO/ COLLAGE: Architecture
screening program
MARKO LULIĆ / ALBAN MUJA / FERHAT ÖZGUR / DAMIR OČKO / MIHOVIL PANSINI / PULSKA GRUPA/ RIMAS SAKALAUSKAS / NEBOJŠA ŠERIĆ SHOBA / DARIO ŠOLMAN
curated by Branka Bencic
DAZ / Architect's association, Jelacic Square 3
Zagreb (Croatia)
September 29, 8 PM
Concepts of space are grounded in individual and collective experiences. Screening program VIDEO/ COLLAGE: Architecture gathers different artistic positions questioning the transformation of social cartography and detecting critical tools to explore spatial issues. Videos by international and Croatian artists question models of representations of a contemporary city (Vienna, Ankara, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Pristina...) - places where "geometric rationality and entanglements of human lives meet", where modernist utopias, dystopic futures and realities of transition coexist, where different spatial, ideological, cultural, social, economic phenomena meet. Concepts of representation of a city are based on different fragments - layers of immediate surroundings, everyday experiences and routines, parts of history and culture, all which is shaping processes of thinking and perception.
Selection of works ranges from film experiments and 60s anti-film neo avantgarde issues by Mihovil Pansini, a video essay in theory of modern architecture by Marko Lulic, to fallen socialist utopias in works by Damir Ocko and Rimas Sakalauskas to establishing critical relations in the framework of urban transformations, social and economic exchange taking place in cities filmed by Ferhat Ozgur, Nebojsa Seric Shoba and Alban Muja, concluding with video animations by Dario Solman and architect's collective Pula group.
