Laing’in kendi yaşamından öyküler ile hastalarının deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak, hekimi bir dizi konferans ve seminerde takip eden bu filmde radikal psikiyatrist merak uyandıran, hazırcevap ve teklifsiz bir karakter olarak gösteriliyor. Laing terapi sanatına ilişkin anlayışını, sevgi adına birbirimize söylediğimiz yalanları, izleri bazen doğuma kadar sürülebilen tekrarlayan davranış örüntülerini, tuhaf veya rahatsızlık veren her türlü davranış ve düşünceyi bastırmaya yönelik acınası insan içgüdüsünü izleyiciler ile paylaşıyor. Bu filmin konusu müthiş bir özgünlüğe ve dehaya sahip, çekici karizması ve zevkli kişiliği sayesinde etkili bir öykücü ve muzip bir şakacı olan bir kişilik.

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

The Ottoman Way of Serving Coffee

Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.

Good News from the Skies

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day. 

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

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.
