19:30 The Institute for Public Presence is pleased to open a new projects space with Open Phone Booth, an exhibition by Turkish artist Nilbar Güreş.
In Open Phone Booth the artist focuses on a mountainous region in eastern Turkey that is still deprived of basic infrastructural elements such as roads, electricity, water, and telecommunications. The pastoral landscape is revealed as a series of public spaces designed by the very absence of these infrastructures. Technology and ways of overcoming this isolation redefine living together, close up and long shot.
Nilbar Güreş (b. 1977) lives and works between Istanbul and Vienna. She has shown her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Berlin Biennale (2010), the Istanbul Biennale (2011), and the São Paulo Biennale (2015).
Exhibition closes: June 30
Opening Hours:
Sunday-Monday 10:00-14:00
Tuesday 16:00-20:00
Wednesday-Thursday 14:00-18:00
A new supplement for online magazine Maarav will also be launched; it will be included in a series of issues as part of the activities of the Institute for Public Presence.
New Maarav Spring Issue 2016 is the first in a series of issues that will be published as part of the activities of the Institute for Public Presence. Several artists, theoreticians, and activists were invited to respond to the basic question “What makes public space?”, or “What does public place do?” Contributors include Ariella Azoulay, Mati Shemoelof, Hakim Bishara, Hadas Ophrat, Rula Khoury, and Moran Shoub.
The Institute for Public Presence strives to challenge the prevailing perception concerning art and action in public space, and encourages research that will facilitate the writing of different histories and narratives concerning this presence, with emphasis on the Institute’s geographic location – the City of Holon, Israel.
