"Smoke it" by Sasha Yakutina immerses the viewer in a world where digital art, sculpture, and installations intersect. The theme of the exhibition refers to phenomena such as merchandising, consumerism, and artifacts that resemble objects forgotten on the street. Sasha Yakutina's works manipulate the viewer's attention, playing with optics and perception, where the main method of self-expression becomes the effect itself.

The films in this program span a half century and many disparate styles, but when viewed through the telescope of the present their similarities form a constellation of techniques. These films are active archives vibrating collaged images to produce unexpected meaning. Their universes of collected media unique to each author speaks to the production of identity, practice of memory, and experience of culture in the image landscapes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

In ‘evim yuva’, an exhibition by artist Barış Çavuşoğlu, the home is a place of protection and refuge. Inspired by his childhood home, which Çavuşoğlu compares to a well-oiled machine, the exhibition consists of two central sculptures that borrow from the visual language of industrial design to reimagine the domestic sphere as a well-structured and self-regulated ecosystem, where everything functions as it should.

Star & Stan is a performance duo from artists, Kate Williams and Reed Rushes. Focused on issues of gender and sexuality Williams and Rushes perform as a fantasy couple; the heterosexual, his and her, power couple, Star & Stan.

Star, played by Williams, wears faux-geisha makeup combined with the fashion of white upper class American women inspired by William’s suburban home town. As Stan, Rushes, is a high powered business man, painted silver with assless trousers. Described as “something people have never seen before”( Elephant Magazine) the pair unpack structures of power, labor, gender and capital through the mechanism of gay shame.

They mix the perverse and the absurd with pop culture and Americana tropes creating surreal wild shows that merge “lovemaking and conflict” (Paper Magazine), “passion and aggression” (Brooklyn Rail). The high glamour, grotesque, fame hungry fantasy world of Star & Stan leaves audiences with the sensation that they’ve done “poppers in a bathtub full of money” (audience member).

Bora Akıncıtürk presents a new body of work revolving around a recent reproduction of a “lost” (stolen?) painting he made during a residency in Prague in 2018. The painting is accompanied by a group of objects that Akıncıtürk and some of his friends have come across—sometimes found, sometimes obtained very cheaply, or without permission. Starfish Decay draws on personal stories to explore notions of possession, appropriation, occupation and reconstruction. Known for employing multiple stylistic approaches in his work, Akıncıtürk continues his exploration of the modern individual and the burdens of navigating life in an era of constant online interaction.

Monoton Otonom offers a fragment from Elif Yalım’s world—one in which cables that once carried vital information, yet have been rendered obsolete and cast aside by relentless technological progress; scraps of fabric that consent to detach from their own wholeness in pursuit of becoming a beautiful dress; and objects that, if we were to play a game of guesswork, would take the viewer to places both familiar and unknown, are woven together.
