Ak-sayanlar is a series in which fifteen artists work in pairs to create 8 works of art in a variety of media for a project initiated by the Istanbul art magazine Art Unlimited… no, the maths do not add up! Nor, entirely, does the press release. If you really want to find out what is going on, you will simply have to pay a visit to the gallery in still surprisingly entertaining Tophane.
The medicine cabinet is from a photogrametic video and sound installation by Orhan Cem Çetin entitled Neither Audacity Nor Strength. The drawing on a tea napkin is ‘Untitled’ by Şebnem İşigüzel.
