The project attempted to follow the journey of the resident artists and their works, progressed in İstanbul, with various presentation formats and fields of research. The inputs of these formats (talks, presentations, performances and workshops) have shaped the outcome of this journey into a two-fold display: open-studio presentations at the artists’ studios and the exhibition at the Museum of Energy. The exhibition documented the multiplicity and diversity of ideas and practice around the extensive substances of electricity and light. At the same time, it engendered and illuminated artists’ reflections and perceptions of the city, along with sequences and narrations of memory.

İstanbul Biographies Photographs 1 Introduction “Light, Illumination and Electricity” was the launching project of artist-in-residence programme of santralistanbul, a comprehensive, participatory and interdisciplinary international platform for culture, education and arts, led by İstanbul Bilgi University. santralistanbul is a conservation and regeneration project, involving the transformation of İstanbul’s first urban scale electricity power plant, Silahtarağa (operational from 1914 to 1983), into an international hub for arts, culture, and education. The Silahtarağa area is situated at the tip of the Golden Horn, one of İstanbul’s once major industrial quarters, now positioning itself as a cultural and recreational site. The power plant with its early twentieth century turbine halls, boiler rooms, control room, workers’ lodgings and its peripheral buildings like warehouses and repair yards, as well as with its extensive gardens and waterfront area, is a well-preserved industrial heritage site, unique in this respect in this region. santralistanbul has taken over this truly awe-inspiring space and has turned it into generative force field through arts, culture and learning.santralistanbul comprises a major centre for contemporary arts, exhibition and project spaces, a Museum of Energy, a comprehensive arts and humanities public library, residence facilities for visiting artists and researchers, performance spaces, as well as İstanbul Bilgi University’s various undergraduate departments, such as Visual Communication Design, Sociology, History, and Management of Performing Arts as well as the MA Programme in Architecture, santralistanbul is a unique undertaking where artistic activities and academic programmes intermingle, feeding one another with creativity. “Light, Illumination and Electricity”, supported by the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures and organised by santralistanbul in collaboration with Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art (Cairo), ZINC/ECM La Friche La Belle de Mai (Marseille), NOMAD (İstanbul) and SCCA-Ljubljana Center for Contemporary Arts, was one of the first projects for international collaborative work, bringing artists together from respective cities to spend three months in İstanbul, and exchanging residencies, where one artist from İstanbul spent his residency in Cairo, at the Townhouse Gallery. The project started in December 2006 and finished June 2008. The residency took place between September and December 2007. The title of the programme was conceived both as a tribute to the memory of the space in Silahtarağa and as an opportunity for artists to generate new ideas and work on one of the most mysterious, confusing and contradictory phenomena that has been the subject of both science and arts since ancient Greeks. Light and electricity are associated with visibility and colour, our basic references to relate to the universe. Being material and immaterial, visible and invisible, natural and artificial at the same time, the concepts of electricity and light have been sources for inspiration, ideas and inventions for centuries. The beauty of light is that it brings into play simultaneously contrary experiences; illumination comes hand in hand with shadow and darkness, security and visibility comes hand in hand with danger, liberation comes hand in hand with dependence. What light does lead to invariably, though, is transformation: transformation through exaggeration, transformation through colour, transformation through connectivity, and through simulation. Besides these explorations on light and electricity, Silahtarağa site opens up another avenue of investigation. This is to do with electrification, the second industrial revolution and the radical transformation of everyday practices (the final and total encapsulation of life worlds by the logic of 2 3 modernity). Electrification has been an inspiration for generations of artists such as the Futurists and This book documents the talk series, introduces the artists who took part in the residency and also leading on to Light Art as a medium of expression and creativity. The theme of electrification has documents the exhibited works. also been explored from the point of view of the impact of technological innovations on daily lives and on social practices. This residency project by santralistanbul was supported by the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures and also by İstanbul Bilgi University. The partners of The residence programme aimed to open up these avenues for exploration. Cynthia Zaven, the project were all very committed to the project and very supportive.

Responding to the legacy of Portuguese occupation in her home of Brazil, Clark sought out an art that embraced the viewing subject and contributed to their sense of subjectivity. Challenging traditional models of perception, participation, and objecthood, Clark created objects that exceeded the bounds of the autonomous transcendental picture plane. By fracturing the surfaces of her paintings, creating objects that possess an interior and exterior, and by requiring her participants to physically manipulate her work, Clark demonstrated an alternative model of the art object and experience. These experiments took her into the realm of therapy under the influence of psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott’s work.

The literature on what is generally called Latin American Geometric Abstraction has grown so rapidly in the past few years, there is no doubt that the moment calls for some refl ection. The fi eld has been enriched by publications devoted to Geometric Abstraction in Uruguay (mainly on Joaquín Torres García and his School of the South), Argentina (Concrete Invention Association of Art and Madí), Brazil (Concretism and Neoconcretism), and Venezuela (Geometric Abstraction and Kinetic Art). The bulk of the writing on these movements, and on a cadre of well-established artists, has been published in exhibition catalogs and not in academic monographs, marking the coincidence of this trend with the consolidation of major private collections and the steady increase in auction house prices.

At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler. During our explorations of these and other highlights of the coun- FEATURING: try, we will enjoy special access to architectural and archaeological sites in the Dan Thompson, Ph.D. company of Global Heritage Fund staff.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • How to Get Meaning from Abstract Painting: As Interpreted by the Artist, the Viewer, and the Writer Written Review by Linda Bigness-Lanigan
    0 How to Get Meaning from Abstract Painting: As Interpreted by the Artist, the Viewer, and the Writer Written Review by Linda Bigness-Lanigan The articles in this review represent different positions on how viewers, critics, and artists interpret meaning in modern and abstract art. After reading several articles addressing the ways in which pictures in art are looked at, written about and perceived by artists, critics, and viewers, four points of view emerged. The first viewpoint is that of opticality, defined by many of the writers as how one interprets meaning through the visceral surface, brush strokes, composition, and subject manner in a painting and how relevant the perceived meaning is to the work of art. Other writers, however, argue that the message or meaning does not exist in the surface but is instead the reflection of the viewer’s opinion or personal feelings that bring meaning to the work. Still others state that the relevance of the meaning in a work of art does not lie in the meaning suggested only in the painting itself, but is instead what is stated by the artist to interpret his or her personal feelings and intentions. Another theory is that contemporary interpretations of painting rely on critical writing and the theories, for example formalism, used to place works of art in defined categories, meant to be used by the viewer as a reference to give meaning to the perceived artworks. The overall criteria used in finding meaning in abstract art are based upon the physical, optical, and the perceptual responses to an object of art.

  • Journey to Turkey: a Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey
    IAS 3950.026 Journey to Turkey: A Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey IAS 3950 Journey to Turkey: A Survey of Culture, Economics and Politics of Turkey Course duration: May 19 – June 6, 2015 Instructor: Firat Demir; Office: CCD1, Room: 436; Office hours: By appointment; Tel. 325-5844; E-mail: [email protected] 1. Course Objective The Anatolian Peninsula that connects Asia and Europe has been at the epicenter of many empires and civilizations for thousands of years. Any attempt to understand the culture, institutions and many of the current challenges present in modern Turkey should begin with the study of these civilizations, which have contributed immensely to the development of the Western and Asian civilizations. After all, this is the place where the words Asia and Europe were coined and where the very first monumental structures in history were built (Gobeklitepe, dating back to 10000 BC). Also, I should mention that the father of modern history, Herodotus was a native of Turkey (a title first conferred by Cicero). This course is comparative and interdisciplinary in nature and crosses multiple disciplines including arts, sociology, cultural studies, history, urban planning, economics, and politics. We will constantly compare and contrast the past and the present, East and the West, Turkey and Europe, modern and archaic, secular and religious, democratic and authoritarian, etc. A special attention will be paid to challenge students’ pre-conceived notions, opinions, perspectives and attitudes towards Western vs. Non-Western civilizations, particularly so for those involving the Middle East and Europe. During our journey, we will visit thousand + years old churches, synagogues, mosques, ancient temples, palaces, cities, monuments as well as the most exquisite examples of modern art, and perhaps not so exquisite examples of modern architecture.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Selma-Gurbuz-Final2.Pdf
    Selma Gurbuz Mind’s Eye 24October – 7 December 2011 In association with “This exhibition mostly consists of works I had made in my studio in Istanbul in 2011. I always put a full stop after each exhibition and begin with a new clean sheet. Actually, the things that should have been said were told in the first few sentences, but the real sentence is still incomplete. What brings me to the process of this second exhibition is the need to complete this sentence. Before that, I held an exhibition called Shadows of My Self at Leighton House Museum in London. Now, with this exhibition, I will continue to form the incomplete sentence. I think that the Western tradition and the tradition of the Eastern pole are actually two separate fluid materials intertwined. I try to imagine the West from the East as how the West would imagine the East. When setting up my own dream, I generate a view from East to West by knowing both the Western art and culture and using the richness of this region such as being in between East and West. When I interpret Western myths through the eyes of the Eastern, the Eastern myths that I have created show up, too.They also have a nature that occurs with these myths. There is not an indication on a definite location. Geographies are undefined in my pictures.” Selma Gürbüz. Selma Gürbüz is nothing if not eclectic. She knows her more prominent and, more recently, the details in her sources and is not afraid to mix idioms.
