There’s something in the fog! screenings begin with this American classic, which is not only the namesake of the series, but also is the only film that relates with the thematic concept in this selection so far as the literal meaning of fog is concerned. Telling the story of the residents in a town, who are attacked by ghosts emerging in the fog, and who finally have to face the consequences of a massacre from one hundred years ago, this suspense by John Carpenter on one hand builds on the potential offered by the fog both at aesthetic and psychological levels, and on the other it converts ‘uncertainty’ into a lucrative production area not only due to its positioning- neither art nor commercial cinema-, but also due to the elusiveness in its political messages.
Published as part of Pera Learning programs, “The Little Yellow Circle (Küçük Sarı Daire)” is a children’s book written by Tania Bahar and illustrated by Marina Rico, offering children and adults to a novel learning experience where they can share and discover together.
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.
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.
