The participants, who visit Calculations and Coincidences with a guide, combine the dots, lines and geometric forms in the works with their creativity, reinterpret them with a different eye and transfer them onto biscuit ceramic plates or cups. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.
Note: Participants can pick up their ceramics, which will be sent for firing, from the museum within the time and date intervals to be shared with them.

About Damla Yeşiloğlu
Damla Yeşiloğlu (1977, Istanbul) graduated from Marmara University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Ceramics in 2002. In 2009, she completed her master's degree at Marmara University Institute of Fine Arts with her “Installation in Turkish Ceramics” thesis. In addition to being a ceramics instructor, she created the Damlart Brand in 2009. While she continues to produce ceramic and porcelain handmade design works for functional daily life originating from the Bauhaus school, she continues her sculpture works for Conceptual Art and Installation in her studio.
Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
