Deniz and her friends who haven’t seen each other all summer have a lot to tell each other. The boys in the senior class have suddenly got tall, new albums have been released, natural gas was distributed to Balıkesir. As their parents are very busy working, Deniz and her friends are still confused about university preferences. Even though she gets close with Kaya, Deniz still has her counsellor Fırat in her mind. She wants to prove her friends that this isn’t “something common”. Deniz dreams of a life different from her friends and parents. A song nobody hears, a desperate love, loneliness… Ankara instead of Istanbul, social sciences instead of science… Another world but where?
Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure: Nostalgia from Sea Baths to Beaches exhibition brought together photographs, magazines, comics, objects, and books from various private and institutional collections, and told a nostalgic story while also addressing the change and socialization of the norms of how Istanbulites used their free time. Istanbul’s Seaside Leisure was a documentary testament of the radical transformations in the Republic’s lifestyle.
The various states of viewing nudity entered the Ottoman world on postcards before paintings. These postcards appeared in the 1890s, and became widespread in the 1910s, following the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Monarchy, traveling from hand to hand, city to city.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
