March 12 - May 28, 2021
Pera Museum presented virtual event series “Plastik Düşler Sahnesi” (Stage of Plastic Dreams) in collaboration with HYPERCORTEX and with the support of the British Council.
Organized in parallel to the A Question of Taste exhibition, the “Plastik Düşler Sahnesi” event series brought musicians and visual artists together in a virtual event space open to participants. The series aimed to offer an experience similar to that of a physical venue with its spatial sound design, interactive objects and interaction opportunities between participants in an alternative format to online events, which have become increasingly popular due to the pandemic, while supporting musicians and visual artists who have been greatly affected by the pandemic.

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
I think it was Frank Zappa – though others claim it was Laurie Anderson – who said in an interview that ‘writing on music is much like dancing on architecture’.
A Salon exhibition held in the Grand Palais in Paris on May 1, 1906 showcased an Ottoman painting. This was Osman Hamdi Bey’s famous “Tortoise Trainer”.
