The Rehearsal is one of the most exceptional films by Jules Dassin, the director of unforgettable film noirs such as Rififi, Brute Force and The Naked City. This film was clandestinely shot in a studio in New York. Completed in just four weeks with a very low budget, it reenacts the student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic University in 1973. Documenting the events that resulted in the deaths of 40 students on November 17, the film reconstructs the incidents through documents, interviews, songs, and poems. It brings together names like Melina Mercouri, Lillian Hellman, Maximilian Schell, Arthur Miller, and Laurence Olivier, all involved in the same uprising.
Men were the first nudes in Turkish painting. The majority of these paintings were academic studies executed in oil paint; they were part of the education of artists that had finally attained the opportunity to work from the live model. The gender of the models constituted an obstacle in the way of characterizing these paintings as ‘nudes’.
The man is depicted in three-quarters view, turning straight to the viewers with a penetrating glance. The background is grey, while the clothes, the hair, and cap are black.
Pera Museum presented a talk on Nicola Lorini’s video installation For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones, bringing together the artists Nicola Lorini, Gülşah Mursaloğlu and Ambiguous Standards Institute to focus on concepts like measuring, calculation, standardisation, time and change.
