Register the Distance II

Curator: Beral Madra

March 25 - May 28, 2005

The exhibition from Istanbul realized for Crazy Space in Santa Monica, Los Angeles in 2003 dealt with two facts concerning the geographical, cultural distance between two metropols. The most profound similarity between these two cities is their past centrifugal positions as peripheral territories in reference to the archetypal centers of Europe and USA and to the contemporary art-market and system axis of Berlin-Paris-London-New York. A further common ground is their post-modern centripetal positions as melting pots of global human movements, i.e. immigrations. Worth mentioning is that both cities are thresholds to the so called Eastern Civilizations, embracing both ends of the vast territory called Asia and the Pacific.
