Sessie met Museum of Non Participation (Karachi), :mentalKLINIK (Istanbul),
Zeynep Tul Sualp Akbal (Istanbul)
Vrij. 27.02, 2009 [20.00 u]
TENT.Young Curator Fatos Ustek (Londen/Istanbul) leidt op vrijdag 27 februari een sessie met performers, sprekers en publiek. Filmkunstenaars Karen Mirza en Brad Butler (Londen) zullen in een persoonlijke performance onder andere ingaan op hun project Museum of Non Participation dat ze in Karachi, Pakistan uitvoeren voor het Engelse kunstopdrachtenbureau Artangel. Ze onderzoeken in samenwerking met Pakistaanse gemeenschappen in Londen en Karachi hoe politieke structuren zich met geweld in de openbare ruimte manifesteren.

Het Turkse kunstenaarsduo :mentalKLINIK (Istanbul) zal ingaan op een aantal recente projecten waarin nanotechnologie en virtual reality centraal staan. Yasemin Baydar en Birol Demir richtten hun collectief :mentalKLINIK op vanuit de wens om de relatie tussen mens en object te transformeren, en te proberen aan te tonen dat de relatie subject-object in de toekomst op een andere manier kan worden vormgegeven. Zeynep Tul Sualp Akbal is verbonden aan de Bahcesehir Universiteit van Istanbul. Haar publicaties over film en theorie hebben veel invloed gehad op de bloeiende Turkse filmwereld. In haar betoog ondervraagt ze hedendaagse subjectiveringsstrategieeë® aan de hand van observaties over sci-fi films en de dynamiek van de huidige westerse maatschappij.

Istanbul-based artist duo :mentalKLINIK will be speaking about their recent projects which deal with nanotechnology and virtual reality. One of the reasons why Yasemin Baydar and Birol Demir founded their collective :mentalKLINIK is to re-evaluate the human - object relationship and to attempt to prove that the relationship subject-object can be experienced differently in the future. Zeynep Tul Sualp Akbal is working as a scientist at Bahcesehir University of Istanbul. Her publications on film and theory have had a profound impact on the country's flourishing film industry. In her talk, she will question today's subjectifying strategies through observations on sci-fi films and the dynamics of contemporary western society.
