Cyclists

Get on the saddle
Move the pedal
You might taste freedom
Be part of the battle
Trash the newspapers
Spit the flavor of slavery out

Take a lover on the luggage rack
Hunt the wind
Make it blow
With the speed of your bike
As you make it go

Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium

What is the connection between art and design and personal set up of the environment.

26.05. – 07/15/2012
Rezan Has Müzesi, Kadir Has Cad., Cibali, Istanbul
Opening times: daily from 09:00-18:00 clock

Organized by the Goethe Institute Istanbul in cooperation with IFA

‘SET’ by Andree Korpys/Markus Löffler. The image shows a part-reconstruction of a conspirative flat of the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF, Red Army Faction), based on photographs by the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA, Federal Office of Criminal Investigation), it is part of the  exhibition “Come-in. Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium in Germany” taking place at Kadir Has University.

The exhibition “Come-in. Interior Design as a Contemporary Art Medium in Germany” investigates the connection between fine art and applied design in twenty-five artistic positions by means of individual objects, sculptures, installations, videos and – in the exhibition catalogue – inserts.
At first glance, the mobilia, objects and interiors appear to possess an “obvious” identity as “furniture”, “luminaries” or “interiors”. At second glance, however, they are too uncomfortable, colourful and eccentric, all too clearly geared to our perception or a situational communicative event. They represent ideas, projects, scenic reinterpretations of situations conditioned by certain furnishing and architectural elements. The interior spaces chosen by many of the contributing artists form links between aspects of contemporary history and their own biography and critical aesthetics.

Every institution that takes part in this touring exhibition is invited to choose and exhibit additional works from its own country for the duration of the show there. These should represent one artistic position dealing with the theme of the exhibition.

Murderer’s Café

The speciality of Murderer’s Café is “cold dog”. It’s a cake out of cookies and chocolate. It was invented by the cookie firm Bahlsen in the 60th. Easy to prepare, greasy and sweet to eat. Perfect symbol for a society full of contradictions. Growing economy, conservative society, student riots, fashist police, cold war along with small cafes and chewing gum vending mashines.
