The Time Needs Changing

Cao Fei, Nilbar Güreş, Raqs Media Collective

The Pera Museum, Meşrutiyet Cad 65, Tepebaşı, Beyoğlu, Istanbul

Three artists reject linear time and create a parallel thought-scape in this group exhibition. Featuring drawing, video, photography, installation and new media, the artists Cao Fei, Nilbar Güreş and Raqs Media Collective tie time to geopolitics and power structures, and attempt to upend both.

The work of Nilbar Güreş questions the default of masculine linear time. Contemplating the point where the real and virtual intersect, Cao Fei offers us greater control in a world in a chaotic world. The Raqs Media Collective uses work that associates memory with various experience to liberate the concept of time itself. Through all the work in the exhibition, time is used as a tool of self-understanding.
