Untitled Series 2009 / İade-i Ziyaret. Acilis: 20 Kasim Cuma, Tütün Deposu


Endam Acar, Selda Asal, Volkan Aslan, Fatma Çiftçi, Zeren Göktan, Deniz Gül, Gözde İlkin, Ceren Oykut, Gökçe Süvari ve Sophia Tabatadze, Nisan 2009’da Türkiye'nin doğu sınırları Gürcistan, Ermenistan, Azerbaycan ve İran’a gittiler; otobüs, tren ve minibüs gibi ulaşım araçlarıyla sınır geçtiler; kendi ilgi alanlarinda hikayeler topladılar.

Deniz Gül, bu bölgelerde tanıştığı insanlarla günlük rutinde politika üzerine, "Özgür ifadeye ulaşma adına nasıl başkaldırılar var?" sorusuyla diyaloglar kurmaya çabaldı. Döndükten sonra, yolculuk sirasinda topladigi sesleri, tanıklık ettiği tartışma, konuşma ve isyanları, TV ve radyodan kayıt aldığı haberleri, kafasında biriken sesleri ve tüm bu süreci yaşarken oluşturduğu içsel diyaloglarını yazmaya başladı. Gül'ün, topladığı hikayeleri dilsel bir hafızayı açığa çıkartarak gün be gün oluşturduğu, kendi içinde dönüşümler yaşayan metin dizisi, duvar üzerinde art arda buluşturduğu A5 kağıtlardan okunabilir.

Farklı malzemelerden doğan çeşitli anlatımlar ve katılımcıların yolda giderken, durdukları, kaldıkları ve ziyaret ettikleri yerlerde ürettikleri çizim, fotoğraf, video, yazı, etkileşim ve konuşmalarından oluşan çalışmalar, 20 Kasım - 31 Aralık tarihlerinde Tütün Deposu'nda.

VERY SMALL DISTORTIONS IN THE ORDER





The International İstanbul Film Festival this year opens itself to video art for the first time with a programme consisting of works of artists from Turkey. Cinema structures a (very) ordered system due to the production methods its industry imposes on itself and due to its perpetually controlled perceptive mechanisms. Taking advantage of the free zones that contemporary art creates, video brings a "distortion", an aesthetic and political alternative to this order. The works that the viewer is to discover in this section push the boundaries of the white screen. The image shakes, shifts, narrows and widens from time to time, the screen is split, the space is ambiguous, the focus is lost, bodies dissolve in the background, taboos are visible, İstanbul catches fire, an earthquake shakes the movie theatre (very) small distortions in the cinema order call the audience to new discoveries and new experiences.
Uluslararası İstanbul Film Festivali, son dönem Türkiyeli sanatçıların eserlerinden oluşan bir programla ilk olarak bu yıl video sanatına açılıyor. Sinema gerek endüstrinin dayattığı üretim yöntemlerinden, gerek sinema dilinin görece katı kodlarından, gerekse algı mekanizmalarının sürekli kontrol altında olmasından dolayı (çok) düzenli bir sistem oluşturuyor. Video güncel sanatın yarattığı serbest bölgelerden yararlanarak bu düzene bir "bozukluk", estetik ve politik bir alternatif getiriyor. Bu bölümde izleyicinin keşfedeceği eserler beyaz ekranın sınırlarını zorluyor. Görüntü titriyor, kaymalar başlıyor, zaman kâh daralıyor kâh genleşiyor, ekran bölünüyor, mekân belirsizleşiyor, netlik kayboluyor, vücutlar arka planda eriyor, tabular görünür oluyor, İstanbul yanıyor, sinemada deprem oluyor... Sinema düzeninde (çok) küçük bozukluklar, seyirciyi yeni keşiflere, yeni deneyimlere çağırıyor.

ceren oykut / city can
marcus graf


City Can is dealing with Istanbul as a city of dreams and nightmares. It goes beyond traditional drawing by extending the picture into space. The work surrounds the spectator. It shows a heterogeneous urban cosmos, in which millions of stories can be observed. Instead of being a wall-drawing, the work is a space-drawing, a time and site spesific installation.

Ceren Oykut transfers the classic medium into contemporary forms in order to adjust the act of drawing to today’s reality. She poses the eyes of a child combined with the mind of a scientist. The artist researches Istanbul and reveals the stories of the city dwellers living within the chaos and absurdity of everyday life. Ceren Oykut belongs to this city, is an active part of it.

City Can functions like a subjective archive, a visual pool of the streets of Istanbul. The artist draws what she sees. The result is an all over composition, a complex structure without any focus. Like the city itself, there is no centre in Oykut’s work. She creates an individual map, in which details are more important than a general impression, a picturesque wiew or any tourist attraction.

Turkis Miniature as well as caricature, satire and humour in general (mizah) have evident influences on her work. On the walls of Under Construction, she individually reproduces her direct surrounding, the urban context she lives in. Though, different from real life, in Oykut’s work, everything and every being have same formal and conceptual importance. The freedom of miniature is adjusted to the freedom of the mind.

City Can translocates parts of Istanbul into Under Constuction. In the installation, the spectator sees scenes that Ceren Oykut watched on her way from Boyacıköy, over Başiktaş, the Bosphorus, Kadıköy to Under Construction in Maltepe during the installation’s production time of three weeks. The work is like a record of seen incidents, which she saved in her memory and later drew on the wall. She took various ways to the exhibition space to see as many different stories as possible. The result of this research is a compressen image of Istanbul. There, everything is in a state of permanent flux. The city, the construction site and Oykut’s installation are constantly developing. Together they form one liquid composition. İt resembles a concert, in which the sound of Istanbul gets created: The machines of the construction site form the rhythm, and the pencil dances an the walls to the melody of the city.

In City Can, time and space stop existing. The spectator steps out of real life in order to discover Istanbul. Therefore, Oykut’s work shows one of art’s basic functions:Art becomes an instrument for researching and questioning society by forming parallel realities which represents models of our world. In her installation, we see our city through the eyes of somebody who is observing from a differet angle.

Ceren Oykut’s work reflects the paradox of being a distant observer and individual activist. City Can gives us a feedback. What we see is what we live with. The spectator is wellcomed to enter the installation in order to discover various faces of Istanbul, this beautiful monster. Istanbul is more than an accumulation of concrete, steel and glass. Istanbul is made by its inhabitants. We create Istanbul everyday new...

About the project

The project Postcards, 2+1 by its name known today, in 2004 in Istanbul starded with Selda Asal and Ceren Oykut. In te following years with the contribution of other artists and this time with Neriman Polat joining them, they continued the project in Haliç area.
They determinated, as tneir field of study, the streets that are both so close to Istanbul but still shelter lives that conflict with each other like in Haliç and also areas lie Eyüp, Halıcıoğlu, Balat, Silahtarağa that have connections to Haliç.
These were youngsters that were aged between 8 and 15 who migrated from various regions of Turkey. They were trying really hard to survive with their families. Artist's aim was to make seen the spots where these people who live right next to luxury were jammed in their struggle through their dreams. Although not very clear because of their disappointmens, where did these people's dreams lie? How close did these dreams lead us to reality? Who were they? How were their lives? What did they think about? The fear that started in the corner of the street, depravation, luxury on the street next to it? Being marginal? Alchool? Drugs? How would these exist together right next to each other? Political reactions, fashion, rap, dance, folk songs, longing for countryside..To understand these youngsters?
Parallel emotional lives, to liberate and to prepare a base where these youngsters can reveal their thoughts and to create these images with materials of the artists, movie, pnotograph, audio and sketches..
