Fine English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 22 cm). In English and Turkish. 176 p., fully color ills. Posters from Turkey.= Türkiye'den afisler. Text by Ferit Edgü. Preface by Yurdaer Altintas. "The first art / culture posters in Turkey began with theatre bills, and their ranks were swelled by those for concerts, exhibitions and films in the 1980s. How do we explain these original examples which failed to enter the daily life of Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and other major cities, since they cannot have been conceived and produces without commissions. Obviously there must have been commissions. But what sort of need for 'posters as a medium' these commissions originated from, I fail to see. Does the fate of Turkish posters lie hidden in thatr aphorism about 'the losers bein the real winners'? Do not expect to learn the answer to this question from those who have written; - posters embellish walls, as walls do the city. -posters are the talking walls of a city. - Posters are the pop-art of metropolises. - A Paris, a London, a New York, a Tokyo, a Rome, a BErlin is unthinkable without posters. When you ttry to imagine it, they are transformed to a city plunged into darkness by a power cut. Istanbul, this global metropolis, is therefore a metropolis darkened in full daylight.". (From text of Edgü). "In this book you will find posters designed in Turkey in the latest era generally. This book, which contains 157 posters by 27 designers most of them who are relatively young and who view their careers from a universal angle, is the third publication of the Turkish Society of Grahic Designers.". (From the preface of Altintas).

Bare, naked, nude: A story of modernization in Turkish painting.= Üryan, çiplak, nü: Türk resminde bir modernlesme öyküsü. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 205 p., color and b/w ills. Bare, naked, nude: A story of modernization in Turkish painting.= Üryan, çiplak, nü: Türk resminde bir modernlesme öyküsü. [Exhibition catalogue]. Bare, Naked, Nude: A Story of Modernization in Turkish Painting focuses on the evolution of nude painting as one of the foremost genres alongside portraiture, landscape, and still life in Turkish modern art. The rich diversity of styles represented in the paintings that come together in this exhibition reveal that the nude, far from being a subject for Turkish artists constitutes a means of expression fundamental in the search for form. The most challenging trial for artists in their student years, the human body emerges as a central source of inspiration in both the pursuit for modernist tendencies in Western art and in the efforts to articulate an individual artistic language. The exhibition catalogue, through the essay of the curator, Ahu Antmen and the selected paintings offer us the possibility to envisage the visual adventure behind Turkey's story of modernization, providing an insight into the formation of artistic identity in the period extending from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic, the challenges of transforming the perception of the female body from a framework of privacy to that of a desexualized object and the connections between the art and the nude in the perception of a modern identity. HISTORY OF ART TUrkish painting Modernism Contemporary Turkish art of painting.

ALI HASSOUN.
Ali Hassoun. Verso Oriente. Testi di Gabriele Mandel Khân, Ivan Quaroni. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 Aprile - 31 Maggio 2004, Spirale Artecontemporanea.
As New As New English Paperback. Pbo. Dust wrapper. Mint. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English and Italian. 45, [1] p. Color ills. For Ali Hassoun, born in Saïda (Lebanon) in 1964, but living in Italy, art is inevitably a borderland, a fertile ridge where two different cultures meet: the traditional, spiritual culture of Islam and the dynamic, evolutionary culture of the West. In this meeting, East and West, North and South are only apparently geographical coordinates. They are rather topical places in the mind, spiritual directions which pass the baton to one another, like the perfect laps in a trip touching in turn upon the extreme opposites of ascension: the zenith and the nadir, Alpha and Omega, vile lead and alchemic gold, the terrestrial world and the imagination, the spirit and the body, and all the possible variants on a polarity which is always merely symbolic. In the artist's works the East and the West continually change sides, alluding to ambiguous meanings, now clear and now hidden. Ali Hassoun's iconography is constructed by stealing from contemporary visual culture images of a variegated humanity intent on the humble occupations of a daily life that has not yet been brutalised by the signs of the technological era. Like a computer hacker, but employing techniques which are entirely manual, Ali metaphorically "copies and pastes" onto his canvas photographs of people taken from the pages of a book or a magazine. He paints portraits of men and women, changing them using an ancient tool which contains within itself the balsamic germ of transfiguration. And yet, in his painting, precise and detailed to the point of verging on hyper-realism, there is nothing of the documentary. Like Emilio Salgari, Hassoun does not need to plough the waves or travel the caravan routes to come up with his visions. His travels are immobile, typical of a multimedia age such as our own, when information abounds but knowledge is rare. An age in which painting has come back into fashion - if it had ever gone out of fashion - but feeling the influence of the clarity of liquid crystal, of the pervasive vocabulary of the big plasma screen, of the hi-tech aesthetic born out of cyber imagery and the virtual settings of videogames. Painting containing gelid icons, the heroines of a new cybernetic sensuality, portraits of aidoru and computer alter egos, replicants and cyborgs, singing the fictitious myth of a trans-human future. In Italy, Ali Hassoun's painting is a return to Vasari's Bella Maniera, the full perfection of the great lesson of the Renaissance: painting with no mediation, no alibis and no tricks. In his works, Arab shepherds, students of the Koranic schools, cabalists, old wise men and African women dressed in fabrics of gaudy colours move about in a scenario in which landscape notation is abolished, swept away by an artificial background, a citation of great masterpieces of Art History, from the Michelangelo of the Sistine Chapel to Picasso's Guernica, from the fourteenth-century Sienese painters - Simone Martini and the Lorenzettis - to Capogrossi. The Levantine faces and statuesque bodies of his African women, the elegance and grace of his Indian maids are surrounded not by a desert, by a marketplace, by the interior of a mosque or a zawiyya nor by a minaret or a medina, but by a world of spirits, of platonic psychopomps floating suspended between Earth and Sky. In his most recent works Ali Hassoun has moved eastward. His women are now wearing the colours of India. They are wheat grinders, water bearers, even cabalists, intent on drawing a five-pointed star in the earth, hiding the secret of the golden section. The birth of a primitive femininity is everywhere, blended with the mystics of the elements - Air, Water, Earth and Fire - transfused in the grammar of light as in the use of clayey colours, in the transparency of ethereal figures and in the symbolism of water. Once again there are images of the "well of science" from which to draw the water of wisdom

The poetics and politics of place: Ottoman Istanbul and British orientalism.
New English Paperback. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 285 p. Color and b/w ills. "This unique collection takes a fresh look at Orientalism by shifting its center from Europe to Ottoman Istanbul and thinking about art in terms of exchange, reciprocity, and comparative imperialisms. This new lens reveals the essential role of the Ottoman city and its patrons and artists in the dialogues that facilitated production, circulation, and consumption of British Orientalist cultures. In this volume, art works are conceptualized as traveling artifacts produced through localized interactions. World renowned scholars and curators analyze the diverse audiences for such art works and the range of differing contexts for their reception both in the 19th century and more recently. In this way, British art is put into a dynamic relationship with an historicized understanding of cultures of collecting and display during the formation of comparative modernities and also with the contemporary postcolonial creation of new national models of exhibition and education. Featuring stunning visuals, this book puts art history in the context of cultural, visual, and literary studies, challenging the orthodoxies of postcolonial theory with the materiality of multiple imperialisms and modernities to offer a new take on the collection, display, and consumption of Orientalist cultures.".

Orientalism in Polish art.= Polonya sanatinda Oryantalizm. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 October 2014 - 18 January 2015, Pera Museum.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p., color and b/w ills. The exhibition highlights the orientalist trend in Polish painting, as well as drawings and graphic arts. The works in the exhibition cover a wide period from the 17th to the early 19th centuries. Among others, the exhibition includes drawings by Christian Kamsetzer of his Turkish travels, as well as oriental scenes by artists like Zmurko and Brandt. The artworks exemplify topics related to the Ottoman world, and to a lesser extent, the Near East and North African regions. One section of the exhibition is dedicated to Stanislaw Chlebowski, the court artist of Sultan Abdülaziz. Works by other artists who had visited Turkey, among them Jan Matejko, Waclaw Pawliszak, Jan Ciaglinski, and Jacek Malczewski, are also included. Selected from the collections of Polish institutions ranging from the National Museums in Warsaw, Kraków, Poznan, and Wroclaw, the University Library in Warsaw, to Lazienki Palace Museum, the exhibition brings together approximately 190 works. The apogee of Orientalism, which refers to a cultural current in Europe centred on an interest in the cultures of the East manifesting itself in art, architecture, music, literature, and the theatre, arrived in the 19th century, when a distinct Orientalist current sprang forth from academic painting, inspired first and foremost by the cultures of the Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa, as well as of Moorish Spain. In the specific case of Poland, interest in the Orient goes back to medieval times; a natural result of her geographic location, which rendered Poland particularly susceptible to influences from the East. To a large extent, this period in Polish history was defined by successive wars with the Ottomans, and it left an indelible trace in culture. A variety of equestrian types, generic skirmishes and great historic battles were depicted many times by various skilled artists, as well as Oriental characters, landscapes, and genre scenes -first and foremost of the harem. The latter subject matter, popular among audiences, was often taken up by painters who had never been to the East themselves. Exhibition catalogue presents works by the artists among them Jan Matejko, Waclaw Pawliszak, Jan Ciaglinski, Jacek Malczewski, and especially Stanislaw Chlebowski, the court artist of Sultan Abdülaziz, are included, and also sheds light on the artistic influences of Poland's cultural interaction with the East, different from the Western Orientalist approach, through history, diplomacy, battles and travellers.

Technology won't save us. International Young Art from Berlin. On the Occasion of the 12th Istanbul Biennial 2011.= Teknoloji bizi kurtarmayacak. Berlin'den Uluslararasi Genç Sanat. 12. Istanbul Bienali Paralel Etkinlikleri 2011. September 15 - October 15, 2001. Curator: Uwe Goldenstein.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Oblong large 8vo. (20 x 21 cm). In English, German, and Turkish. Color ills. 48, [5] p. "This exhibition Technology Won't Save Us: International Young Art From Berlin, running concurrently with the 12th Istanbul Biennial, bears a title whose pessimism reflects the philosophical underpinnings of many of the works in the show. Inspired by the theories of Vilém Flusser, who in 1978 predicted a "crisis of values" in a world ruled by images rather than ideas, this exhibition consists mostly of paintings depicting a bleak, dehumanized technological world. One could instance Gábor A. Nagy's collapsing of foreground and background on his canvases - suggesting that all images are ultimately, so to speak, two-dimensional - or Adam Bota's blurring of individual and group identity in his painting of dancers in a techno club. The artists in the show are all German artists of roughly the same generation - born in the 70s or later - and their visions of the world we live in now are bracing and eye-opening".
