[Exhibition catalogue]. Edited by Eda Sezgin. Texts by Nussret Polat. Translated by Mehmet Emir Uslu. Catalogue of an exhibition at the Baksi Museum, 2017. "It was my uncle who went out first, later followed by my father. He had told me of their journey on horseback that took days. It was from him that I learned their stories of the passengers of Cetinkaya - Erzincan railway line. And this journey has not ended, ever since it began. As such, in my seventy-one years of life, I've mostly had stories of leaving. Perhaps that's why I chose to title my exhibition after a childhood memory of a thorn that pierced my foot, lodging itself there, giving me itches and later leaving me. Grand fissures in human lives also have grand reflections. Great oscillations, relocations, leaps through classes, or careers -these certainly affect life deeply. But in my life, as I look back upon it, it was not these memories but those who were the most innocent and most personal that left the greatest marks. This is why "The Thorn in My Foot" has collated the innocent, simple and idiosyncratic experiences of my intense and multifaceted life that wanted step forth. My childhood memories; my primary school diploma, which is a testament that I wasn't a very bright child; our supper table; our chair, which was the centre of daily lives with its covering drape; the fantastical shadows of fairytale heroes that wrought havoc in our household; the dissolute images of the sunlight, the silent guest of Baksi Museum, for whose foundation I worked tirelessly; tremendous forms crafted by master blacksmiths for centuries; and the Huy Kesen Tree, a gateway to hope - they all wanted to seep through the profound silence of time and reach out to the spectators. I too followed this path. With all these interrelated and even contradictory elements, I wanted to create a dreamy silence for the spectators, within the reality of Baksi. Is it possible to reconstruct innocence with today's language? Perhaps this exhibition is a purification act chosen by an artist, who has created to understand and speak about other lives, on the way to introspection and re-encounter.".‎

‎Yet another story about the fall.= Düsüse dair bir baska hikaye daha. Curated by Ilkay Balic.‎

‎Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Dust wrapper. Small 4to. (26 x 19 cm). In English and Turkish. 88 p., color and b/w ills. Yet another story about the fall.= Düsüse dair bir baska hikaye daha. Curated by Ilkay Balic. Yet Another Story About the Fall" was Fatma Bucak's first solo exhibition in Turkey and presented new works by the artist along with a selection of her recent works (2012 and 2013). "The Fall" is a concept of central importance in the artist's production. Bucak problematises gender- and identity-based discrimination in her works, and revisits creation myths that regard man as superior to woman, therefore going back to the very beginning, the fall of man from heaven to earth. Bucak produced a new two-channel video installation especially for the exhibition at Arter. Shot at Tuz Gölü (the salt lake in Central Anatolia), the part entitled "And then God blessed them" brings together the female and male archetypes in a harsh and timeless part of nature for yet another confrontation. As in many of her other works, Bucak included her own body in this performance as an anonymous female figure, and was accompanied by a family member: her brother. In the second part entitled "Suggested place for you to see it", we see a group of women Bucak invited to take part in her work as "viewers". The comments of these 13 women become a performance in itself. Their real-time reactions meet the possible comments of the viewers in the exhibition space; and in this manner the installation proposed a contemplation on the position of the viewer in front of a work of art, and our ways of interpreting art. In her works, Fatma Bucak records actions she performs in meticulously designed settings in their entirety. These works, in which she simultaneously engages photography, video and performance, often deploy universal symbols (like in the reference here to The Last Supper which is assigned via the number of viewers). In this manner, Bucak reverses and re-enacts myths, religious parables and autobiographical narratives. The broken loaf of bread, which the artist then tries to sew back in "Blessed are you who come ¿ Solida Fundamenta" recalls the effort two different communities of the same land make to remain together, whereas the egg in the video "I was not able to prevent the fall" gives an uncanny sense about what is about to happen. In the work entitled "Omne Vivum Ex Ovo ¿ Nomologically possible, anyhow", installed at the entrance of the exhibition space, eggs are now being placed in concrete blocks. This 13-screen installation, first exhibited as a 5-screen installation in London at the Catlin Art Prize exhibition in 2013, and redesigned with the addition of music for the exhibition at Arter, returned to the themes of birth and hope associated with the image of the egg this time in association with urbanization. Videos at once both appearing and disappearing on the screens, point at an action with no clear beginning or end: a woman is constantly placing eggs in the holes of countless concrete blocks. Is she doing this so they can mature in their concrete nests and hatch when the time is right? Can life really emerge in this sullen landscape? And if it were to, what kind of creatures would step out from these eggs?‎

‎FRANÇOIS AUGUSTE RODIN, (1840-1917).‎

‎Heykelin büyük ustasi Rodin Istanbul'da. [Exhibition catalogue].‎

‎New Turkish Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (27 x 24 cm). In Turkish. 400 p., color and b/w ills. The Sabanci University Sakip Sabanci Museum (SSM) hosts works by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The exhibition titled "The Master Sculptor Rodin in Istanbul" comprises 203 artworks selected from the collection of the Rodin Museum in Paris. The exhibition features the artist's bronze, plaster and marble sculptures, archival photographs, many drawings as well as some pieces from his collection of antique-style statues. Among nearly 100 sculptures that will be exhibited by SSM, which aims to promote wider public appreciation of the art of sculpture through the works of a renown master sculptor, are Rodin's masterpieces like The Thinker, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, The Monument to Balzac and The Walking Man. In addition to 18 statues and many other diassembled-assembled pieces drawn from The Gates of Hell, on which Rodin worked for long years but could not succeed to complete, 20 antique-style statues from Rodin's special collection are displayed at the exhibition. The bronze horse statue, after which the Horse Mansion was named and which has been saluting the Bosphorus since 1952, has been replaced with the Monument to Victor Hugo for the first time on the occasion of the exhibition. The statue of the renown poet, writer and thinker Victor Hugo made by Rodin is 1.85 m in height and 2.85 m in width. The photographs and sketches exhibited along with the other works enable visitors to track the artist's journey from his early works to his most famous masterpieces, and also shed light on the artist as a sketcher and a collector. The bilingual exhibition catalogue, which was prepared in Turkish and English, and whose texts were compiled by Samih Rifat, briefs on Rodin's life and artistic journey. The exhibition also proposes a set of events such as conferences, sculpture workshops and training programs for the kids. The exhibition, which is sponsored by Akbank and held in cooperation with the Rodin Museum in Paris and the French Cultural Center, will be open until September 3, 2006. The Artist - Born in Paris on November 12, 1840, François-Auguste-René Rodin discovered sculpture after he attended La Petite École, a special school for drawing and mathematics, and began to improve his drawing skill. He rented his first workshop in 1864 and met Rose Beuret, aged 20. In 1871, he exhibited his works in Belgium for the first time. In 1875, he started to work on a life-size human body, which he called The Bronze Age. In 1882, he sculptured the figures of Adam, Eve and the Thinker. After a while, he met Camille Claudel who soon became his mistress and biggest rival. In 1883, he created his Monument to Victor Hugo, and was commissioned by the City Council of Calais to sculpture the Monument to the Burghers of Calais two years later. The following year, he completed The Kiss. In 1888, the state commissioned The Kiss in marble for the Universal Exhibition. In 1889, he exhibited together with Claude Monet, the famous French painter and one of the founders of impressionism. In 1895, he bought the Villa des Brillants in Meudon and started to build up his collection of paintings and antique statues. The Rodin Pavilion was inaugurated at the Alma Square in Paris on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1900, and a major exhibition of Rodin took place in Prague in 1902. In 1904, the first exhibition of a large-scale plaster of The Thinker took place at the International Society in London, then a bronze version of it at the Salon de Paris. The Thinker was placed in front of the Panthéon in 1906, which was later taken to Hôtel Biron (now the Rodin Museum) in 1908. The French National Assembly decided to establish the Rodin Museum in the Hôtel Brion in memory of the artist who handed over his collections to the state through three successive donations. On January 29, 1917, Rodin married Rose Beuret. Rose died on February 14, Valentine's Day. Die‎

This book has been published for the reason of Mine Art Gallery's turning 30 years old. In this book, the activities carried out through 30 years by Mine Art Gallery which is one of the important stops in the roadmap of Turkish Art History has been documented. This book consists of the exhibitions, conversations, catalogue texts and posters of exhibitions, bulletins, texts that took place in the press, photographs and videos which are formed through 30 years, which is only a little part of Mine Art Gallery's archive. Certainly, we had to make a selection between the numbers of sources. I think we showed the required sensitivity to ensure the integrity of the book while selecting the quoted documents precisely and carefully. This book is different than the routine books of history of art galleries. Because, this book explains the history of Mine Art Gallery through the artists who supported them in their foundation. It is very certain that squeezing all 30 years of an art gallery in to a book is very difficult. As a matter of fact, we couldn't. We could just include the main documentation. For the upcoming periods, Mine Art Gallery is targeting to publish more books drawing upon their rich archive and also wants to share their archive with the art lovers. Mine Art Gallery with its roadmap that continues for these nonstop 30 years, not only formed their own documentation, but also has brought an important archive for the Turkish art history. Publication of this book will carry meaning as an important source for many researchers, art writers, art critics and for all the people who are interested in art, and also will be an encouraging force for the other art galleries. 500 copies were printed. A very heavy box set. Extra shipping fee will be requested.‎

Prep by Tibor Mester; Begu?m Akkoyunlu; Tania Bahar; Kemal Atakay, György Darabos. Csontváry was an artist of the turn of the century. The richness and complexity in his works cannot be characterised based on stylistic categories. Realistic observation, emphasis on the changing light, the decorative, orgiastic use of color characteristic of Post-Impressionism, the large-scale handling of form and the strong diffraction of the colors often appear simultaneously on the same canvas. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue invite us to discover the works of this extraordinary Hungarian artist, who wrote poetry with paintings that reflect his vision beyond the currents of the period, his unique colors, his symbolic narrative, and the "divine voice" he claims to have heard. Contents: Foreword: Jósef Sárkány.; Csontváry: Lojas Németh.; The sublimity of creation in Csontváry's art: Jósef Sárkány.; Autobiography.; Catalogue.; Biography.‎

‎Fine French Original bdg. HC. 4to. In French and Turkish. 168 p., ills. Pierre Loti et les silhouettes de Hassan: Portraits avant La II. Constitution.= Pierre Loti ve Hasan silüetleri: II. Mesrutiyet öncesi portreler. The novelist Julien Viaud, famous for his nickname Pierre Loti, is a traveling maritime officer. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, he makes seven trips to Istanbul. In 1903, at the age of 53, Pierre Loti takes over Le Vautour, the first station ship to the French Embassy in Istanbul, during his fifth trip to Turkey. In the same period, Hasan signed cartoons start to circulate in Istanbul.The person who is hiding under Hasan is actually Robert de Guiroye, a naval officer. This person was then assigned to the auxiliary ship "La Mouette" (Seagull) under the command of Pierre Loti. It is thought that this officer made drawings on this ship in the evening after having spent a long time in important social clubs such as Cercle d'Orient, Pera Palas Ballroom, Tepebasi Theater. Who is actually Hasan / Who is the real Hasan? The answer to this problem is in the exhibition and detailed catalog. Let's see if they can help bring Hasan's identity to light. The "Pierre Loti and Hasan Silhouettes" exhibition is made up of documents obtained as a result of years of research by numerous collections and valuable collector Sayen Erol Makzume, who has vast knowledge of Hasan's lithographs in the early 20th century. The exhibition contains texts, cartoons and in-depth information, and sheds light on the transition period of Turkey after the Second Constitutional Monarchy.‎
