“Floating Volumes”
Frise/Hamburg – 5533/İstanbul
Twenty one Turkish and German artists participated in an artist exchange program about “City and Identity”.
Organization: Emine Şahinaz Akalın, Nancy Atakan, Erich Pick
Ciy is a social place built from narratives and visions. Those standing to gain from the political, economic, and culutural visions determine the function of buildings to be constructed and the form they will take. Streets, squares, neighborhoods and organizations help traditional stories continue. Empty and desserted lots and lower income areas become places for reflections on new visions, utopias and distopias. The people who make these reflections and tell these stories not only fanticize, but also play a role in the materialization of these dreams. Our aim is to show how designs for these projects and these types of stories are produced and to show the changes they create.

"Save Me"
digital print series
Whether in Hamburg or Istanbul, as we see the complexity and diversity of neighborhoods, with traditional shops, theaters, museums and cafes being replaced by H&M, Starbucks, IKEA and other capitalistic shopping areas let us all ask, "Who really owns our streets?"
Antonio Cosentino
"Untitled", 2010
photography print
The painter, Antonio Cosentino, works from photographs that record impressions of his immediate environment. For this exhibition, he shares with us some photographs that have not as yet become paintings.

"Narcissus pseudonarcissus“, 2010
Video 8 min. loop with sound
"He that has two cakes of bread, let him sell one of them for some flowers of the Narcissus, for bread is food for the body, and Narcissus is food of the soul.“
Prophet Mohammed 600 AD
"In search of the city’s fissures I found thee flowers.“ Uli Fischer

"Küçük Germany“, 2010
Photocollage, ca. 60 digital prints (13 x 18 cm), 20 x 450 cm.
A sample of streets in Hamburg or Berlin. A line of 'Turkish’ shops and offices. In a different context, for example in Istanbul, these shops might be identified as 'German’.
What is 'Turkish’, what is ''German’? The artwork "Küçük Germany" searches for the border between, the differences in, but also the similarities between cultures. The work emphasizes that perspective and the way one reads cultural differences is influenced by the individual context of the viewer.
Gul Ilgaz
"TRACES“, 2009
3 photography prints 100 x 70cm.
These three photographs show the traces of buildings left on the ancient city walls. These traces are not only the traces of houses, but also the traces of lives and memories of people who lived there.

“Turkish code word”, 2010
acrylic and ink on Bristol board
When using Internet services, more and more one depends on code words or passwords that usually resemble black dots. My image refers small visible and invisible differences in culture and typeface.
“Overloaded freighter”,2010
mixed media, candy paper, LED fan
The “Overloaded freighter” is inspired by a motif taken from a Russian animated musical film. In the film the main characters begin a trip around the world in similar vessels. They head for Istanbul and continue on further into the Orient. With the motif, I refer to a voluptuous, western cliché of a foreign distant and only imagined culture. On the other hane, the image is inspired by real memories from walking through Istanbul. My memories are of street scenes with endless mobile shops, flashy competitive devices used to get people’s attention in any shop window and the neighbor where we stayed located between the flashing lights of neon shops and sign makers workshops.

"Untitled, Hamburg,“ 2010, from a series in progress
Digital print, dimensions variable
“For a period of six months, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting works from the Old Masters, the Nineteenth Century, and the Classical Modern collections in dialog with artworks from the Gallery of Contemporary Art. All art has been contemporary, which takes its name from a neon piece by Maurizio Nannucci (1999), calls attention to the often forgotten fact that every artwork has at some point been contemporary. While "historical" and "current" works of art may be centuries apart in terms of their date of origin and their style, similarities often exist between them on a formal or thematic level. This serves to remind us that every work of art is an expression of human experience and an exploration of universal issues, and that the artists’ intentions are not as far removed from each other as is commonly assumed. The unusual juxtapositions of works in this exhibition take visitors on an artistic journey through time and encourage a different kind of comparative viewing. In Lawrence Weiner’s words, they invite us to "LEARN TO READ ART."

"Urban Soundscape LLP" 2010
Open series of posters and soundscapes
"Urban Soundscape LLP" pretends to be a company conducting research, developing and producing acoustic design, sound art projects and sound designs for public or commercial spaces. To promote the companies allusive services, posters were developed and juxtaposed with different soundscapes. The aim of the project was to visit different locations in Istanbul to investigate specific sound and urban design activities related to each place.

"Erased" 2009
looped video
Using the dichotomy of the existence and non-existence of an architectural structure as an existential relationship is like losing an object one is using. When one loses an object, ones interest in the object increases. When the twin towers were destroyed on September 11, they became more important, the already existing symbolic value changed and increased. It is no surprise that they became more popular than they had been before. This video installation that was created in Ankara by showing a portion of the city disappearing aims to question the relationship between the existence and non-existence of architectural structures in our mind.
