The presentation entitled, “Can Nudity Be Translated?” invites the audience to establish a connection between some of the cornerstone works in the “Bare, Naked, Nude” exhibition and the legendary nudes in the history of French painting. Discovering the ties between artists, paintings, dates of executions, models, and poses brings to light the fundamental role Paris played in the modernization of art in Turkey in the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the early stages of the Republic. Reconsidering, through nudes, the hopes of planting the seeds collected from various Parisian art institutions in Istanbul and Anatolia, also changes are perspective on these nudes.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
