BM SUMA ÇAĞDAŞ SANAT MERKEZİ / CONTEMPORARY ART CENTRE
24 MART/ MARCH- 14 NİSAN/ APRIL 2009

20 yıldır kardeş şehir olan Berlin ve Istanbul 2009’da bu kardeşliği kültür ve sanat etkinlikleriyle gündeme getirmektedir. Berlin Belediyesi ve Senatosu’nun kültür işleri dairesi, 1988’de kökeni ne olursa olsun en az 3 yıl Berlin’de yaşayan sanatçıların Londra, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Moskova ve Paris’de 1 yıl ya da 6 ay yaşayıp çalışmalarını sağlayan bir burs kurdu.
Her yıl Kasım ya da Aralık ayında Berlin’de toplanan ve söz konusu kentlerdeki temsilcilerden ve Berlinli kültür uzmanlarından oluşan bir jüri yüzlerce başvuru arasından bu beş kente gidecek sanatçıları seçmektedir. Günümüzde Berlin’in AB’nin en çekici kültür ve sanat kenti olmasının nedenlerinden birisi hiç kuşkusuz, Berlin belediyesi ve senatosunun Berlinde yaşayan sanatçılara sağladığı bu uluslararası açılımdır.
Günümüzde sürmekte olan bu burs ile 1988’den bu yana 70 sanatçı İstanbul’da yaşadı, çalıştı ve üretti.
1988-1994 arasında bu bursun temsilciliği yazar Sezer Duru ve tasarımcı Harald Schmidt (1929- 2000) tarafından yürütüldü. 1995’de bursun yönetimini Beral Madra aldı ve 1998’de Berlin’de Kunstamt Kreuzberg sanat galerisinde 25 sanatçıyla ve İstanbul’da ve İstanbul için üretilmiş yapıtlarla bir sergi gerçekleştirdi.
Berlin Istanbul 20 yıl kutlamaları bağlamında, Berlin Belediye başkanı’nın değerli desteğiyle gerçekleştirilecek olan sergi 21 sanatçıyı kapsayan iki bölümden oluşuyor.

Birinci Bölümde GABRIELE BASCH, SUSANNE BOSCH, THOMAS BÜSCH, ERIK GÖNGRICH, NATASHA SADR HADGIGHIAN, ISA MELSHEIMER, CATRIN OTTO, NADA SEBESTYEN, YUAN SHUN, ROLAND STRATMANN

İkinci Bölümde BERNARDO GEORGI, NEZAKET EKİCİ, KATJA EYDEL, PARASTOU FOROUHAR, MONA JAS, CHRISTOPH KELLER, WERNER KLOTZ, MARISA MAZA, ULRIKE MOHR,DIMITRIS TZAMOURANIS, INA WUDTKE, FLORIAN WÜST, FLORIAN ZEYFANG

Haziran sonunda Berlin Belediye Başkanı Sayın Klaus Wowereit kutlamalar dolayısıyla İstanbul’a geldiğinde bu burs ve sergi dolayısıyla bir basın toplantısı düzenleyecek.

İstanbul’da yaşayan ve çalışan bu sanatçılar, kentte yaşadıkları altı ay boyunca çeşitli çevrelerle ilişki kurdular, üniversitelerde sunum, genç sanatçılar ya da öğrencilerle çalıştaylar, STK’larla işbirliği yaptılar; kentin mimari ve toplumsal dokunu araştırdılar ve gözlemlerini, yorumlarını ve eleştirilerini yansıtan işler ürettiler. Bu işlerini çoğu kez İstanbul’da grup sergileri içinde ya da kişisel sunumlarda gösterdiler. Bu işlerini İstanbul’dan sonra gittikleri her ülkeye ve her kente de taşıdılar.

BM Suma Çağdaş Sanat Merkezi’ndeki iki sergi, bu yapıtları ilk kez toplu olarak bir araya getiriyor. İstanbul için ve İstanbul üstüne üretilmiş bu yapıt topluluğu, İstanbul 2010 sürecinde de dikkate değer bir anlam taşıyor.

In 2009 Berlin – Istanbul Twin City 20th year Jubilee will be celebrated.

In 1988 Berlin Mayorship has established a one year or six months artist residency scholarship for Berlin resident artists for London, Los Angeles, Istanbul, Moscow and Paris. Istanbul residency has hosted almost 70 artist mentored by the writer Sezer Duru and the deceased designer Harald Schmidt from 1988 to 1994 and administrated and mentored by Beral Madra since then.

Every year in December a jury consisting of members from the aforementioned cities and the experts from Berlin institutions evaluate approximately 100 applications and select the artists.

This year as the Istanbul branch of the Berlin Scholarship we are celebrating the 20th year of this initiative with an exhibition of 23 artists who has lived and worked in Istanbul since 1998. The exhibition will be realized in two parts.

First part: Opening 24 Marc 2009: GABRIELE BASCH, SUSANNE BOSCH, THOMAS BÜSCH, ERIK GÖNGRICH, NATASHA SADR HADGIGHIAN, ISA MELSHEIMER, CATRIN OTTO, NADA SEBESTYEN, YUAN SHUN, ROLAND STRATMANN

Second Part: Opening 2nd May 2009: BERNARDO GEORGI, NEZAKET EKİCİ, KATJA EYDEL, PARASTOU FOROUHAR, MONA JAS, CHRISTOPH KELLER, WERNER KLOTZ, MARISA MAZA, ULRIKE MOHR,DIMITRIS TZAMOURANIS, INA WUDTKE, FLORIAN WÜST, FLORIAN ZEYFANG

The Mayor of Berlin Mr. Klaus Wowereit will visit Istanbul in June and will make a press conference in the venue of the exhibition.

These artists have lived and worked in Istanbul, each for six months and have communicated with members of diver art and culture circles, have presented their ideas and Works in the universities, have collaborated with NGO’s and have participated in workshops, exhibitions and other cultural events. They have observed the socio-political agenda, traditional and modern cultural, and urban textures and problems, have involved themselves in the everyday life events and have produced works that reflected their opinion, criticism and interpretations. Most of the works have been shown in Istanbul during their residency; and evidently later they have conveyed their impressions to other countries and societies through these works.

BM Suma CAC will present their works as an outcome of this residency program. This remarkable production is dedicated to Istanbul.

BRÜKSEL’DE ISTANBUL SANAT MERKEZİ

ISTANBUL DIPTYCHS
Ahmet Elhan, Neriman Polat, Gül Ilgaz, Maurizio Pellegrin, Nataliya Lyakh, Başir Barlakov, Şakir Gökçebağ, Sencer Vardarman, Sıtkı Kösemen, Xurban-collective, Ali Taptık ve Ergin Çavuşoğlu

CURATED BY BERAL MADRA
ORGANIZED BY BM SUMA CONTEMPORARY ART CENTER
Istanbul Center in Brussels is presenting an exhibition introducing contemporary artists from Istanbul with their paintings, drawings, photography, video and installations. The works mainly deal with architectonic or urban cityscapes, daily life topics, traditions and modernities and global pursuits.

Why focus on Istanbul in these exhibitions?

First, since almost two decades Istanbul has evolved into a vital site of contemporary art exhibitions. While in economy and politics the city fulfils its function as a command point of global marketplace and a production site for information economy, the culture and art accordingly unfolds its new forms and dimensions.

Secondly, the city concentrates on diversity even though the globalisation process has introduced a strong unifying corporate and commodity culture, which is fairly dominant in the centers and the periphery of the vast city. The diversity emanates from the continuous immigrations from all directions, from Anatolia in the past, from Eastern and Southern neighbours in the present. An undercurrent amalgam of cultures is making up a redundancy and multiplicity of traditional and modern cultures and identities.

Thirdly, in the heterogeneous contemporary art productions since the beginning of the 90’s, the city appears as an integral part of the micro and macro narratives, representations, simulations and metaphors. In the paintings, photographs, videos and installations of a large number of artists we can trace, recognise and perceive Istanbul as the reason of the work, while not directly the theme or the subject.

Istanbul is one of the most enticing cities of this world; and this has been elaborately expressed in many ways through different art forms, when art was about the Beautiful and the Sublime. We know that, after the erosion of traditional and modern worldviews and values things are different now; artists do not produce simple beautiful, sublime works. Yet, the culture maintains its function as being a part of social life and the critical conscious of the society, and artists face the situation in which patterns for orientation and action of the past no longer work. They have to find new options and actions to provide answers.

Yet, these answers are most of the time private, subjective, hermetic and closed to direct access. The works of the artists provide visual tools of perception and reflection and open our minds to the diversity of thinking and creativity.

The exhibition presents ten individual artistic positions of visual interpretations on Istanbul together with their distinctive selections of literary texts and poems of renowned writers and poets from Turkey.
The ever popular form of diptych, that displays two images attached to each other is being used here as a representation of verbal and visual culture with the claim that there is an ongoing spirited competition between the verbal and visual culture, regardless of the occupation of electronic visual information.
This ancient tool of representation has its modern and post-modern examples in today’s art, mostly related to the dichotomy of socio-political state of affairs or philosophical and theoretical debates and criticisms. Within the post-modern production the form of diptych served as an instrument of influencing the viewer’s attention and perception towards a more elaborate interpretation and comparison of his/her position in relation to the presented image. The division of the image clearly calls for a division of thinking. In today’s culture of visual knowledge we are still tied up to two kinds of knowledge as described in the prophetic book Orientalism of Edward Said. He indicates the distinction between knowledge “that is the result of understanding, compassion, careful study and analysis” and “knowledge that is part of an overall campaign of self-affirmation”.

Kalliopi Lemos BM SUMA ÇSM’de / Kalliopi Lemos in BM SUMA CAC- 14 Mart/March-26 Nisan/April 2008

KALLIOPI LEMOS
DESENLER

1990’dan bu yana Türkiye ve Yunanistan arasında sanat ve kültür alışverişi önemli sergi örnekleri sundu. Esin veren tarihsel ve modern ortamıyla İstanbul Yunan sanatçılara açılıyor ve onlara, bu küreselleşmiş kent manzarası içindeki karmaşık yollarda söylemlerini ve projelerini geliştirmek için olanaklar sunuyor. Bu bağlamda Kalliopi Lemos, Ege Denizi’ndeki yasadışı insan trafiği için kullanılan terkedilmiş teknelerden oluşan “Devr-i Alem” başlıklı yerleştirmesinin kapsamlı projesi için Haliç’te ussal bir alan buldu. Bu proje iki yıl önce “Geçiş” başlıklı Elefsina’da sergilenen bir yerleştirmeyle başladı(2006–2007). Amaç, bu yerleştirmeyi, yasa dışı göçmenlerin ulaşmayı arzuladıkları yerlere doğru göçebeleştirmektir. Geçtiğimiz sonbaharda tekneler Santral İstanbul’a yerleştirildi ve 2009’da Berlin’e doğru yola çıkacaklar.

Lemos’un projesi, yerleştirmenin kavramı ve amacı doğrultusunda, Türkiye’den Yunanistan’a sürmekte olan yasa dışı insan trafiği üstüne bir tartışma da açtı ve İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi’nde “Göç: Sanat ve Tarih üstüne Yansılamalar” başlıklı bir günlük konferans yapıldı. Konferans Hellenic Migration Policy Institute (IMEPO) ile İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Göç Araştırmaları Merkezi’ni (CMR) işbirliğine yönlendirdi.

BM Suma Çağdaş Sanat Merkezi’ndeki sergi Haliç’teki yerleştirmenin bir devamıdır. BM Suma’nın on odasında, izleyiciye bu yerleştirmenin arka alanındaki düşünceleri göstermek üzere, Kalliopi Lemos’un büyük desenleri (100 x 80 cm) ve seçilmiş küçük heykelleri sergilenecek. İzleyici Lemos’un, sanatçı olarak duyarlılığı ve açıklığı ile bölgemizdeki toplumsal-siyasal ortamın bir insanlık dramı durumuna karşı ilgisi arasında kurmak istediği görsel karşılıklılık arayışını algılayabilecek.

Kalliopi Lemos,Sakız adası kıyılarında parçalanmış tekneleri bulup, bu adsız insanların yazgısı üstüne bir proje yapmak için Atina’ya dönmeye karar verene kadar bir ressam ve heykelci olarak Londra’da yaşıyordu. Böylece, yasadışı göçmenlerin devr-i alemi onun kendi ülkesine yolculuğuna dönüştü.

KALLIOPI LEMOS

DRAWINGS
Since 1990’s artistic and cultural exchange between Greece and Turkey has rendered significant examples of exhibitions. Istanbul, with its inspiring historical and modern environment welcomes the Greek artists and gives them the opportunity to expand their statements and projects through the complex lanes of this globalized urban-scape. In view of that, Kalliopi Lemos, found a logical ground for her extensive project “Round Voyage” on Golden Horn. It is an installation of abandoned boats exploited for illegal human traffic in the Aegean Sea. The project started two years ago with a previous installation “Crossing” exhibited in Elefsina, Greece (2006-2007). The intent was to make this work a migrating installation, always arriving to the places where the illegal immigrants yearned to reach. Last autumn it was launched in Santral Istanbul and in 2009 it will immigrate to Berlin.

Lemos’s project opened the discussion on the illegal traffic from Turkey to Greece as well and in accordance with the concept and aim of the installation a one-day conference on” Migration: Reflections on Art and History,” was held at İstanbul Bilgi University. The conference involved the Hellenic Migration Policy Institute (IMEPO) in cooperation with Istanbul’s Bilgi University Center for Migration Research (CMR).

The drawing exhibition in BM Suma Contemporary Art Center is an addendum to the installation on Golden Horn. The ten rooms in BM Suma will host large-size drawings (100 x 80 cm) and selected objects of Kalliopi Lemos to present the audience the background reflections of this installation. The viewer will distinguish the quest of the artist to find a visual reciprocity between her sensitivity and openness as an artist and her commitment to the scope of human drama within the socio- political environment of our region.

As a painter and sculptor Kalliopi Lemos lived and worked in London until she discovered the derelict boats on the shores of Chios and decided to move to Athens to start her project on these anonymous people’s destiny. Thus, the “round voyage” of the illegal emigrants became her own voyage back to her homeland.

an exhibition dedicated to hrant dink’s memory

SOVIET AGITART: RESTORATION
SAMVEL BAGHDASARYAN – ARMINE HOVHANNISYAN

18 January- 29 February 2008

The exhibition entitled SOVIET AGITART: RESTORATION is being realized 18 January- 29 February 2008 at BM SUMA Contemporary Art Center and presents a poster collection of Samvel Baghdasaryan, his art works and the documentary photographs of his student Armine. The collection consists of propaganda posters of Soviet times, with images of Lenin, Brezhnev, Khrushchev, Stalin and their original audio material.

Samvel Baghdasaryan is a pioneer, a komsomol, an artist working in the communist structures. The socio political and cultural conditions of the period was forming and creating artist’s behavior and experience. The popularity of the posters had a concrete mission. As the most important and truly propaganda machine, posters were used to have an influence on the consciousness of the multinational republics of the Soviet Union. It was an instrument serving for the change of the Soviets’ behavior, it was talking about progress, glorifying the times, governmental structure, educating the young generation andsearches for way out. One of them is reconstructing and re-embodying agitation materials by interpreting their aesthetics and using didactic meaning. Another way for Samvel Baghdasaryan is his pedagogical activity. Being artist-pedagogue he always combines his creative processes with young artists’ studies. In this case Samvel Baghdasaryan suggests Armine’s (his student) collaboration in his project. Armineh is searching for the remains / remainders of the Soviet Armenia that are not visible for everyone and documenting/ archiving them by photo. What is the impact of this exhibition today?
showing social- cultural norms and values. There was not any event that could find its place in the agitation posters, again and again focusing people to the slogans and intentions of the
Soviet Power. But there was a strained and repressive relationship between artist’s own creative process and existing political, ideological and cultural situation. The architectural stage props, basis, frontons of communist parties’ buildings, continuing with posters, postage stamps, slogans, pins, speeches stimulating masses had an outer attraction and a secret aggression. All these traces of the Soviet Union are popular still now. But this popularity did not motivate Samvel Baghdasaryan to gather the poster-collection. The question is that artist realized that he is just one of the victims of big history.


This is a memory exhibition and for the young generation viewers, who cannot imagine that they have affected many lives, these posters may have a nostalgic meaning; they would even perceive them as “pop art” of the Soviet times. Yet, these posters convey a rich material for questioning the other kind of orders and conditions that steer and determine our lives. Today, within the conditions of global politics, media hegemony, neo-liberal economies and society of spectacle, the people struggle against the insistent billboards, advertisements and slogans with authoritative, repressive and expansive ideologies that may have different strategies but the same power. The artists produce in this same environment. The remarkable attempt of Samvel Baghdasaryan to utilize these Soviet posters as a “ready made” for his installation is a way of re-constructing the memory and its documentation through artistic processes.

This exhibition journeys from Yerevan to Istanbul with and intention to underline the effective dialogue – the dialogue which succeeded in staying out of the point of references of the political powers – between the artists of Armenia and Turkey.

And this exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Hrant Dink.


THIS EXHIBITION IS REALIZED IN COLLABORATION WITH ANADOLU KÜLTÜR AND SODEV. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK TO CHREST FOUNDATION, TO OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE, TO EMFA ELEKTRİK MALZEME FABRİKASI A.Ş. AND TO ANONYMOUS CONTRIBUTORS FOR THEIR KIND SUPPORT.
