Fluid and Subjective: Story Writing with Probability

Pera Adult

  • November 1, 2024 / 19:00

Is a story shaped by the choices presented to us, or does the storyteller also have a say? Based on Vera Molnár's art practice that integrates algorithms and mathematics, the workshop participants try to construct a story from the cards distributed to them. Participants will try to build their unique stories by making interventions to the cards sorted by chance. Even though the starting point is the same, it is experienced how different subjectivities and the chance factor can take the story to different points.

Note: Participants are kindly requested to send a photograph or drawing they have taken, created, or selected to ogrenme@peramuzesi.org.tr prior to the workshop.

Instructor: Ekin Can Göksoy
Capacity: 15 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 350 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Transition to Sculpture

Transition to Sculpture

If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
