Here, the program of Open Space designates the inter-relationship between creative practice and divergent lines of encounters, which presents works by Turan Aksoy; Elena Cologni; Elvedin Klačar and Hasan Özgür Top in an engagement of creating a discursive platform for a variety of reflections of potential critical dialogues.
The focus of Turan Aksoy’s work takes up the notions of neoliberal politics that shape virtually every area of our daily lives, covering the issues of a degraded distance between individual and communal life as well as the ability to objectively view this effect and he is one of our esteemed lecturers at the Faculty of Arts at ARUCAD.
Working at the intersection of ‘dialogics’, ‘feministics’ and ecologies, Elena Cologni’s ecofeminist position is grounded in care ethics.
Elvedin Klačar creates spaces which offer possibilities of confrontation in his artistic position. His installations are mostly performative and engage visitors in communication.
Hasan Özgür Top takes the viewer to a specific Turkish flag manufacturing shop in Istanbul; where the audience is introduced to a few workers making flags amidst their employers in his video work The Atelier.
