Seminar
October 7, 2023 / 10:00
Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum presents the Late Antique and Byzantine Weights and Measures Seminar for undergraduate and graduate students, featuring selections from the museum’s Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection. The seminar seeks to provide young researchers engaged in the study of Late Antique and Byzantine economy, trade, and culture with a novel approach to the prevalent commerce and trade practices of the era.
The intensive full-day program consists of the seminar and workshop sessions. The first segment of the program focuses on theoretical knowledge pertaining to Late Antique and Byzantine weights and measures. The second segment involves in-depth workshop sessions examining common tools found in the marketplaces of the era, as featured in the museum collection.
The Late Antique and Byzantine Weights and Measures Seminar will be held physically at the Istanbul Research Institute. The program language is Turkish. Attendance to the program is free; however, students travelling from outside the city must cover their own accommodation and transportation expenses.

Temporary Exhibition
As the measurement of discovery became the substance of myths, weighing and measuring, beyond being mere physical actions, became an important means of self-expression to those captivated by the universe and what lay beyond the boundaries of knowledge.

We meet at Marcel Dzama’s studio in Brooklyn on the occasion of his solo exhibition Dancing with the Moon at Pera Museum. On this freezing day in January, he welcomes us with a warm smile, and for a few hours, we step into his world filled with surreal characters, music, dance, politics, and play.
A firm believer in the idea that a collection needs to be upheld at least by four generations and comparing this continuity to a relay race, Nahit Kabakcı began creating the Huma Kabakcı Collection from the 1980s onwards.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
