On Produceability
A project by Alti Aylik (Kristina Kramer & Öykü Özsoy, Istanbul) +
nüans (Anna Heidenhain, Elmar Hermann, Maki Umehara)
“On Produceabilty” is an internationally composed and organised groupshow that has its starting point in Istanbul and travels and develops throughout international venues. The project is all about products, production and their placement in society. We invite artists to Istanbul to reflect on and re- fer to local conditions and global dimensions of production by creating new artworks. With their travel to Istanbul the artists have the possibility and opportunity to use the huge number of large and small manufacturing places. For their artistic purpose they can use this transparency of production and take advantage of it. Up to now the results of this high grade of accessibility and interfereability were shown in Istanbul, Amsterdam, Los Angeles and Cologne. But the production process is still on and there are several upcoming venues and products. “On Produceability” is a collaboration with Alti Aylik.
