New exhibition
The title “Summer Diaries” refers to a season. At its core, it concerns the system created by that season. This approach encompasses a visual language related to economy, architecture, infrastructure, and consumption shaped by the coastal strip.
Antonio Cosentino’s works bring to the surface the material culture of summer, such as television, tubes, plastic chairs, shop windows, signs, and boats, with an archival approach. This is a record that reveals the systems behind the bright appearance of summer. Considering the artist’s previous practice of constructing fragmentary narratives depicting Istanbul stories, photographs, and walking memories, Summer Diaries also points to a record of the coast….

Quell is other people
QUELL IS OTHER PEOPLE is shaped around the fluid nature of the reduplication of ‘Einsamste Einsamkeit’ (Loneliest Loneliness) which Nietzsche uses for the development of his idea of Eternal Recurrence. The word Einsamkeit (loneliness) can be translated as both loneliness and solitude. Although these words seem to be interchangeable, the nuance between them creates a big difference in meaning. QUELL IS OTHER PEOPLE is built upon this difference in meaning. It presents an experimental approach to the concept of loneliness through Akşit’s interdisciplinary practice….
Beetopia II
Capitalism is incompatible with the survival of life on the planet.
Jean -Jacques Regibier

TOWNSMEN
Stricken by the contradictive nature of everyday life on the streets of Paris – which the artist believes to be Europe’s most ambivalent city, with the project TOWNSMEN set as a unifying fabric throughout her time of artist-residency there, Elena Nazarova takes on two very contrasting routes
