Gateway to the West and in the wake of the collapse of Eastern Bloc communism, another train arrives carrying economic refugees to Athens. Amongst the flood of desperate poor is Panayotis, an 18-year-old ambitious Albanian. A handsome and solitary 35-year-old Ilias is cruising the neon-lit streets of Athens and looking for someone to distract him from the emptiness of his life. Against the chaotic backdrop of the modern city, these two characters are separated by race and bound by love, murder, and their desperation to find their own place in the sun.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
When regarding the paintings of Istanbul by western painters, Golden Horn has a distinctive place and value. This body of water that separates the Topkapı Palace and the Historical Peninsula, in which monumental edifices are located, from Galata, where westerners and foreign embassies dwell, is as though an interpenetrating boundary.
A closer look at the life and works of the artist Barbara Kruger, who is represented with two striking works in the exhibition And Now The Good News, a selection of works from the Nobel Collection.
