We witness the colorful worlds of gazino singers such as Cavidan Ünal and Hatay Engin, who are rather known mostly by those in Germany, as well as artists such as Köln Bülbül and Yüksel Özkasap whose fame has also conquered those in Turkey. Accompanied by gazinos, pavilions, champagne like water flowing down a hill, huge amounts of money spent, and magnificent arabesque songs, the film describes the subculture and the queer world created 3000 km away with all its colors and radiance. We are happy to get to know Germany's “Sun of Art” Hatay Engin, and unfortunately, we get overwhelmed with pain as we learn that he died right after the shooting of the film, which is as real as a Gülden Karaböcek song: Germany that took my love away, believe me, everything about you is a lie, Germany.
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.
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.
José Sancho does not conceal the voluptuousness of his female torsos; he highlights it. These torsos are symmetrical from front, but on the other hand, from the side, the juxtaposition of concave and convex forms creates dynamism.
