This workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎR Reverse, uses wooden blocks with prints that have funny eyes, big mouths and many other features that make it easy to create fun characters. Children create fun characters by stacking the blocks on top of each other, combining them in different ways, and if they don't like them, rearranging them repeatedly to create completely different characters. The character they like the most, whose design never ends and contains new possibilities, is immortalized on paper using colored paints.

Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 60 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL

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

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

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.

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.

It can be seen how Goya gradually and constantly investigated all the technical possibilities of creative engraving from etching to lithography.
