  • “ Magdalena Abakanowicz Ve “Agora” Adli Yerleştirmesi ”
    “ Magdalena Abakanowicz VE “AGORA” ADLI YERLEŞTİRMESİ ” Doç. Ayşe BİLİR* ÖZET Bu araştırmada, kamusal alandaki sanat çalışmaları ile dikkat çeken ve yapıtları ile yetkin bir konuma sahip olan Magdalena Abakanowicz’in Agora adlı yerleştirmesi konu edilmektedir. Yazıda Agora ile birebir karşılaşmanın sonucunda edinilen izlenim ve duyumsamalar üzerinden yapıtın bireysel, yerel ve küresel etkenlerle olan etkileşiminin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Agora, sanatçının çocuk belleğine yer etmiş savaşın vahşetinin kişisel anlatım dilinin biçimlenmesinde belirleyici bir unsur olduğunu yansıtması açısından önemli bir örnektir. Yerleştirmedeki heykeller insan vücudunun baş, kol, el gibi kısımları eksik bırakılarak, gelişigüzel ve kabaca yapılmış gibi gö- rünseler de metaforik anlamlarla yüklüdürler. Demir döküm olan heykeller tek kalıptan dökülmüş izlenimi bırakmalarına rağmen hepsi birbirinden farklıdır. Sanatçı heykellerin yüzeyinde eliyle müdahale ederek oluşturduğu dokularla enerjisi yüksek, gerilimli farklılıklar elde etmiştir. Her şeyin estetikleştirildiği ve görselleştirildiği bir çağda yerleştirmenin gelişigüzel, özensiz yapılmış izlenimi uyandıran görünümüne karşın rahatsız eden, şaşırtan, şoke eden görünümüne yüklenen metaforik anlamlar zihinsel bir çabayı gerektirmekte ve bu yönüyle çağı yeniden düşünmeyi tetik- lemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Magdalena Abakanowicz, Kamusal Sanat, Agora, Abakanlar, Yerleştirme * Hacettepe Üniversitesi, Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi, Seçmeli Dersler Birimi, Ankara / TÜRKİYE [email protected] 172 ANADOLU ÜNİVERSİTESİ

Cela s’appelle Agora et constitue l’œuvre publique la plus importante (dans tous les sens du mot) de Magdalena Abakanowicz. À première vue, on pense aux figures qui marchent de Giacometti (en plus foisonnant), à une forêt (mais dévastée), à Joe, l’inoubliable chorégraphie de Jean-Pierre Perreault, à un congrès d’extraterrestres ou un prélèvement de populations déplacées (dit-on pudique- ment), entre deux séries de gratte-ciel; on peut aussi penser aux âmes des morts (mais en plus silencieux), telles que les décrit Homère dans l’Odyssée, quand Ulysse descend dans leur royaume.

The French missionary Jacques Marquette and French-Canadian explorer Louis Jolliet were the first Europeans to record a visit to this spot at the foot of Lake Michigan, in 1673. The peace- ful, friendly local Potawatomi Indians called the low lying swampy area “Checaugou,” which likely means “wild onion” or “skunk cabbage.” 7 THE LOCALS REFER TO DOWNTOWN AS THE LOOP DOWNTOWN CORE 13 BUILDINGS 19 ENTERTAINMENT 23 FOOD DOWNTOWN CORE Bordered on the north and on the west by the Chicago River, on the east by Lake Michigan, and on the south by the Congress Parkway, the Downtown Core is Chicago’s historic and financial center.

  • Cultural Facilities As an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples
    Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples A Paper Presented by Margery al Chalabi ACG: The al Chalabi Group, Ltd. WSE: World Society for Ekistics Annual Meeting Tinos, Greece September 24-29, 2002 Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples I. Introduction Over the past four decades (1960-2000), American central cities have undergone successive waves of in-and out-migration which have profoundly changed both their economic roles and their urban character. • The early 60’s saw an ebb in in-migration to northern cities from workers from the south; and growth in suburbanization, as highways and new housing proliferated. • The seventies produced industrial losses from the rust belt and expansions into the Sunbelt cities, accompanied by accelerating suburbanization in both. • The eighties produced major contractions in basic industries and a spurt in professional and service jobs. The central cities and their downtowns produced record-breaking square footages of offices to reclaim businesses and their workers, many of whom commuted, by train, from dormitory communities. • By the early nineties, urban areas had stretched well beyond reasonable commute times; and suburban office parks – particularly those around hub airports – had begun to compete with or overshadow traditional downtowns. Some urban areas, such as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, grew into multi- nucleated matrices and give rise to the term “Edge City”. • The late nineties and turn of the century witnessed a cultural renaissance in many central cities. Theater, music and dance are expanding, building new facilities and enlarging their audiences. Museums – both large and small – are building new and renovating old structures and expanding collections.
