While Athens is in an uproar over a series of murders of prominent Arab businessmen, Dimitris, a young thief, accidentally discovers the identity of the killer, a strange Greek- American woman who was born in Athens and bears the name of Olga Robards. The young man decides that he must get to know this woman at all costs and seeks the aid of the so-called “the Scientist”, a recluse and fugitive from the law who is considered a real authority on crime. They will both meet the killer who turns out to be a charismatic woman on the brink of death.
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.
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.
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.
