Conceptual Framework

Turkey being closely watched from a global perspective has become a focus of attention, not only because of its own political and cultural state of affairs, but because of "The Arabic Spring" in the region, Iran's bid for nuclear power, its approaches and response to various countries in turmoil such as Iraq and Syria in a post-U.S.A. world politics and no doubt its dynamic relations with The EU.
In relation to all these, recently Turkey also somehow has managed to represent itself as a potential major player in the global art industry, with many worldwide cultural and artistic events and organizations. Turkey has succeeded to attain a unique status in this respect by giving a start to Istanbul Biennial in the mid-eighties, and by realizing Istanbul Cultural Capital of Europe Project in 2010. Now this development, this unique position has been strengthened by various biennial organizations of many emerging Turkish cities like that of Antakya, Canakkale, Mardin and Sinop.
The Third International Canakkale Biennial is contributing to this development with strong commitment and energy.
Canakkale-Gallipoli is a historically loaded city, since it has always been a geopolitical passage way between continents, oceans and civilizations. From the legendary fall of Troy to The Gallipoli Campaign during the 1st World War, Canakkale has always attained a very special place in the hearts and minds of many cultures and civilizations.
The Third International Canakkale Biennial will be held in Canakkale, on the eastern shore of The Dardanelles Straights. This year the Biennale has the aim to portray the intricate realities of political, social and economic world state of affairs in today's global stage. As an artistic event, it will question, analyse and deconstruct the current order of things. It will have a claim, to present visual and performing arts that reflects today’s contemporary art aesthetics and dissents.
The Third International Canakkale Biennial will have a particular claim, an argument. That is; today's artists everywhere, can and must create areas of engagement, activity, interpretation so that this alone could constitute an example, a proof that democracy and freedom can in fact be attained on both global and regional levels. This claim also underlines the attributes of creativity, innovation and memory, all may be interpreted as direct results of the Mediterranean socio-political geography in general into which this historic peninsula opens a passage way. But beyond all that, this claim also asserts that art has a politics of its own and this 'art-politics' does in fact competes fiercely with the other mainstream politics, by proving to its public an alternative way of living together is also indeed possible.
Today's contemporary art-especially an art that is based on questioning and analysis-is in fact a process, which moves forward slowly but surely and effectively. As a result of this process, it is able to portray many intricacies and ambiguities that are a part of our seemingly ordinary daily lives. Contemporary artists of today work like a detective; He/she researches into the complex web of political, social, economic and cultural issues and portrays them in the most effective forms and concepts that are possible. The artists point to the strong currents beneath the seemingly calm waters and try to reveal the truth. The strong currents in The Dardanelles Straights appear to be an analogy for this act. The currents of The Dardanelles presented many difficulties to Xerxes, who was trying to march his army against Alexander the Great. In 1810, this time Lord Byron crossed the straights and told about it in his poem of Don Juan.
Due to the internet, the network of artists from every corner of the world reduces the size of this vast geography and diminishes the time span of events around the globe. They are capable of learning about many issues, decipher secrets and tackle major problems concerning the whole of humanity in this age of swift information. Now, with this new arsenal at hand, great myths of the past are being rewritten and the post-modern individual position is no longer relevant in the state of current events as testified by ripples of rebellion vibrating through Twitter and Facebook. This is indeed a new epistemological situation which requests a new perception and appreciation. This current organization evidently has not invented the soul of rebellion, but makes possible for waves of rebellion to accumulate.
Modern artists have always questioned the conventions or rebelled against them by indulging into areas of class contradictions, ethnic identities, beliefs, identities and the concept of other. Their methods have been analytical and based on processes. This process opens a horizon based on analysis, appreciation and comprehension of these fast changing space-time notions. To realize and fully comprehend space and time and to operate on political, economic and cultural levels has requested a new way of collaboration and partnership between the artists. Thus, the artist initiatives of today are best active examples of this collaboration. These initiatives are a way to share the experience with the society.

The Third International Canakkale Biennial aims;
  • To be a platform for viewing and perceiving art that is created within the above mentioned context;
  • To make visible the geographical boundaries that is being re-drawn in global dimension, the neo-liberal economy which tries to re-incarnate itself, and in particular the political transformations in The Middle East region.
  • To examine the emerging pressure on the existing political power; and evidently all these issues that influenced the daily life;
  • To exhibits works emanating from a certain concept that supports an existing environment or proposes a new environment;
  • To discuss and to deconstruct this organized movement that emerges with the new waves of revolution and revives itself.
Thus the Third International Canakkale Biennial;
  • Will place this historical city into the calendar of international art world by inviting artists and art experts from all over the world, who will contribute to the conceptual framework of this biennial;
  • Will provide interesting and functional locations such as The Old Bus Terminal, The Naval Museum, Korfmann Library, The Old Armenian Church, and The State Fine Art;
  • Will invite the art and culture institutions and universities to join the biennial artists to create an environment of interaction and communication;
  • Will provide the widest possible discussion of the biennial with various social and educational programmes such as workshops, debates and conferences;
  • Will prove the fact that a biennial is not an end in itself, but a sustainable event which demands audience participation and which will become a form of cultural interface for The Mediterranean region;
  • Will place Canakkale into the global art-culture production and communication networks.
*"Art does not produce knowledge and submissions for politics. It produces dissent, fictionalities, and the reciprocal interdependence of different kinds of sequences in the realm of sensibility. These it produces, not for political action, but in the framework of its own politics, in accordance with that peculiar double action, which on one hand encourages itself for self-destruction and on the other locks itself in loneliness. Art produces fictionalities and dissents which reorganize the space-time of can pages, museums, films and theatre which are in fact forms that demand divisions and subdivisions of general locations of sensibility, alone and together and the interrelations between vision and reality. In this way, art produces-creates forms that provide recreations of experiences- It is indeed the area, in which forms of political subject-agent to come into existence.”

PAMI. (Peckham Artist Moving Image Festival), 19-23 September 2012 London

Curator: Elise Lammer

In an immobile parade of cars parked on the top floor of Bold Tendencies sculpture park, artists and curators vehicles serve as viewing cubicles for this unique drive-in experience. Viewers are invited to intrude into strangers’ cars to enjoy a screening programme that reflects on the fetishism of the private space, while immersed within the materiality of the sculptures presented in this year’s car park.

Featuring Sven Sachsalber, Aisha Abid Hussain, Simon Martin, Wendy Vainity, Mélodie Mousset, Berry Patten, Choterina Freer, John Smith, Fabian Marti, Ferhat Özgür

'Reflecting Fashion: Art and Fashion Since Modernism', MUMOK, Austria, 15 June 2012 / 20 September 2012

“Reflecting Fashion: Art and Fashion Since Modernism” Opening: June 14, 2012–7.00 p.m.
15 June 2012 / 20 September 2012
MUMOK (Museum der Moderne Stiftung Ludwig Wien) Austria

The exhibition will be opened parallel with the "Summer of Fashion" in the MuseumsQuartier.
The exhibition focuses on clothing and fashion as an essential component of art, where particularly since the mid-1960s they have played a major role in the work of such artists as Ellsworth Kelly, Cindy Sherman, Niki de Saint Phalle and Daniel Buren. Fashion has always played an important role in the semantics of modernism, with numerous traditions following Baudelaire in defining “modernité” through a concept of fashion - of what is “à la mode”.
During the early 20th century, fashion became part of the formal language of the avant-garde including such artists as Sonia Delaunay, the Futurists and the Surrealists. Celebrated theorists such as Walter Benjamin emphasized the power of fashion in connection with broader questions of art: “Fashion has a flair for the topical, no matter where it stirs in the thickets of long ago; it is a tiger's leap into the past.” Benjamin not only confers a revolutionary significance to fashion but also a certain primacy over art. Art in turn takes fashion “at its most perfect” and relies on its complex and paradoxical nature, where “perfection” can only be achieved through remaining imperfect, where permanence is sought in change and individuality made possible through imitation.
Fashion is artifice, clothing is everyday life. “Fashion,” according to Barbara Vinken, “is commentary expressed through clothing about clothing.”
The exhibition will explore the interplay between art and fashion from the beginning of modernism to the present.

'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!

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!
