Summmer '17

Pera Education Workshop Exhibition

August 1 - September 17, 2017

Pera Museum’s Summmer '17 exhibition brought together the products of the creative world of children and teams who participated in the summer workshops inspired by the Doublethink: Double vision and José Sancho exhibitions. Including the works of three separate age groups (4-6, 7-12, and 13-17), the exhibition added its own color to Pera Education Workshop from August 1 to September 17.

The Summmer '17 exhibition included three-dimensional animal and aquarium designs made using “magic putty” and paper plates, and drawings made using crayons, ink, and finger paint at the workshops for the 4-6 age group. The works created at the workshop designed especially for the 7-12 age group included fish forms made by shaping wire, wind chimes made with soda bottle caps, and designs for clocks, business cards, comics, and book covers, made using a variety of material. The oversized text created by printing letters on sheets of paper at the workshop for the 13-17 age group directed by Hera Büyüktaşçıyan as part of the summer workshops was one of the outstanding works of the exhibition.

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.

I walk over rocks hot as iron under the September sun. I can make out a few lines in the distance, and a few cracked rocks, but apart from those, not a single tree, not one plant

Fluid Rego

Fluid Rego

While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
