Participants take a guided tour of PƎRⱯ Reverse and are inspired by the installation guzmania2103 in the Globals section of the exhibition, which uses the guzmania plant as a symbol of local-global dichotomies. The participants reinterpret the plant forms that they often encounter in everyday life in the city with a different eye and transfer their drawings onto biscuit ceramic plates. 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.

Jean-Léon Gérôme is among the most renowned artists of the second half of the 19th century. One of the most fervent advocates of academic painting, Gérôme declared a personal war against modern movements such as Impressionism.
Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.
In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
