2014New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 112, [4] p., color ills. Istanbul Modern presents the most comprehensive exhibition of work by Sahin Kaygun. Seeking new forms of expression, Kaygun played a pioneering role in photography in Turkey. In the 1980s, when the term "interdisciplinary" was nonexistent in Turkey's photographic culture, Kaygun combined photography with disciplines as diverse as painting, graphics, and cinema, and explored new and surprising applications of photographic techniques. Seeking a contemporary interpretation of the link between photography and other art forms, he continued to push the boundaries between various art disciplines in Turkey. Supported by detailed archival work, the exhibition spans the whole of Kaygun's career from his early experimental intervention in photography in the 1980s, when he produced Turkey's first Polaroid work, through to his final years. Parallel to the artist's technical exploration, in which he added layers onto photographs, the exhibition traces Kaygun's narrative on the boundaries of consciousness between dream and reality through themes of life and death. The political atmosphere of the 1980s led to a period of individual crisis and introversion that can be sensed in his art. Kaygun's work from this period, which is included in the exhibition, manifests the spiritual state of the time from a personal standpoint. Sahin Kaygun started earning a living by painting when he was in high school. In 1969, he began studying graphic arts at the State University of Applied Fine Arts in Istanbul. For Kaygun, who developed an artistic interest in photography during his university years, graphics and photography were two fields that nourished and completed one another. Kaygun's Polaroid series represented his first attempt at manipulating photographs. Works from this series have been included in the International Polaroid Collection and exhibited in major museums and art institutions.
2013New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 311, [5] p., color ills. The Exhibition Erol Akyavas - Retrospective, organized by Istanbul Modern presents a comprehensive inventory of the artist's oeuvre that extends over half a century from the 1950s to the late 1990s. The exhibition brings together in great diversity the unique synthesis Akyavas developed between the artistic and cultural worlds of the East and the West, his perspectival and architectural arrangements on the canvas that passed through many transformations in time, his subconscious explorations that focused on the human figure and his interaction in his late period with the various cultures of the world. This selection of around 290 works, underlines the creative and pioneering identity Akyavas assumed between modern and contemporary art. The works of Erol Akyavas, who was born in Turkey, studied architecture and art in Europe and America and placed his interest in Eastern arts, and particularly Islamic art, and the Sufi tradition at the centre of his art, form one of the most accomplished examples of non-Western quests for Modernity that gained increasing prominence after World War II. Akyavas's world of images, assembled both from Eastern and Western art with a unique interpretation is considered an original synthesis. His quest for form and content that has a scope that extends from Cubism to Surrealism, from Islamic miniatures to prehistoric wall paintings and from calligraphy-based practices to the symbolism of monotheistic religions, develops an exceptional artistic language. In these paintings where perspective in the classical sense disappears, each image that is included in the painting is also ascribed a question, and the image is constructed through a Sufi sense of love, Akyavas creates a world which he embraces with faith.
2013New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In French and Turkish. 127 p., color ills. "Modernity? Perspectives from France and Turkey" explores the effects of modernity on contemporary art. Sponsored by the Comité Colbert, the show focuses on how artists have come to a reckoning with the phenomenon of modernity, a concept that is still valid today. In a globalized world, we are going through a period of diverse, profound, and complex relationships in which the use of new technology and social media are forming intricate structures. Istanbul Modern's exhibition attempts to reveal how the remnants of modernity have seeped into our lives. While the show creates an opportunity for comparing approaches of artists to modernity and assessing similar and different points, its aesthetic approach enables us to establish new proposals for social readings and utopias. Of course, it is also true that France was one of the crucial role models in Turkey's modernization project. Curated by Celenk Bafra and Levent Calikoglu, the show features 17 works from 11 different French and Turkish artists, including Nevin Aladag, Fikret Atay, Kader Attia, Ayse Erkmen, Cyprien Gaillard, Thomas Hirschhorn, Pierre Huyghe, Chris Marker, Sarkis, Hale Tenger and Nasan Tur. The dynamics of modern life have been both criticized and considered an endless opportunity for inquiry in the visual arts.
