Using My Hands to Create a Forest

Face-to-Face

Did you know that the forests, which are covered with living trees, are home to a vast variety of animals? Are there any similarities between the trees in the forest and us human beings? In this workshop, which focuses on learning about the concepts of ecology, interdependence, and improvement, taking its inspiration from the use of compost, a natural fertilizer, which is being highlighted at the 17th Istanbul Biennial, we convert our drawings into our own unique trees, making use of various colorful paints and patterns. Empathizing with nature and non-human living beings, we activate our imagination as we develop our motor skills.

Dancing on Architecture

Dancing on Architecture

I think it was Frank Zappa – though others claim it was Laurie Anderson – who said in an interview that ‘writing on music is much like dancing on architecture’. 

It’s better to burn out than to fade away

It’s better to burn out than to fade away

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.

Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
