Throughout history, weights used in Anatolia for everyday purposes and shopping carry the spirit of their time. How did you design your personal weight with the spirit of today?
Participants will visit The Art of Weights and Measures with a guide and examine the weights used by merchants who lived in Anatolia in the past, and learn about the practices and stories of people in different geographies who tried to understand the world through the acts of measuring and weighing. Then, inspired by the weights depicting mythical figures, animals and urban stories of the period, participants design weights that reflect today's icons from ceramic clay dough.

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
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’.
