Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) / TANAS – Space for Contemporary Turkish Art, Berlin presents The Unanswered Question. İskele 2 on 8 September–3 November 2013.
Invited to the exhibition The Unanswered Question. İskele 2 are artists, performers and musicians from different generations and geopolitical spaces, who work on and with social intersections and create links and connections to the lived concepts of an exemplary global citizenship within the cultural field. Turkey is the starting point of the investigation, but the show is looking much further, to the regions formerly belonging to the periphery, which during the last 20 years have experienced a boost of modernization and internationalization. The exhibition and performance program try to explore the materiality of the interstices, the transit, and to open a space, which brings about a new perspective of the relationship between audience—work—space. The project, together with the artists, aims at temporarily creating a space in which cultural representation and attribution are not at the forefront.
