Mektep-Meydan / School Square - Softcover
Pera Museum presents a contemporary exhibition exploring the multi-layered architectural, art-historical and sociological significance of the Galatasaray High School on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. The exhibition curated by Celenk Bafra takes on the name of "school" ("mektep") in reference to the name of the institution still remembered as and called "the school" by its graduates even today, to the deep-rooted history of the building and its character as a place of education. What does contemporary art have to say beyond the research, publications, exhibitions and events that have already been carried out about this school? Can this school and structure that concerns not only members of the Galatasaray community, but the entire city and even country become a source of inspiration for the artists of our day? The word play in the title School Square both references the Galatasaray Square with which the school is inextricably and necessarily intermeshed and envisages the structure of the Galatasaray High School with its garden and surrounding walls as an intellectual square (an agora, forum) where contemporary artists shall meet and debate. The exhibition attempts to "square"ly expose the school's interior as seen through the eyes of artists, thus opening it up to the public by way of artistic discussion.

Istanbul: Suna ve Inan Kirac Vakfi - Pera Muzesi, 2018. 4to.,134, [1] p., color ills. In Turkish and English. Paperback. New ISBN: 9786054642809 CATALOG: Social history KEYWORDS: Galatasaray High School Education Istanbul - Constantinople On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, School Square Galatasaray offers a fresh perspective through contemporary art, to this deep-rooted school, which has hosted cultural and artistic events along with being an educational institution encouraging and supporting its students? artistic tendencies and creativity throughout its history. The exhibition takes on the name of ?school? (mektep) in reference to the name of the institution still remembered as and called ?the school? by its graduates even today, to the history of the building and its character as a place of education. This word play thus both references the Galatasaray Square with which the school is inextricably and necessarily intermeshed and envisages the structure of the Galatasaray High School with its garden and surrounding walls as an intellectual square where contemporary artists shall meet and debate. The site and context-specific works in the exhibition by the artists Elvan Alpay, biriken (Melis Tezkan, Okan Urun), Hera Buyuktasciyan, Antonio Cosentino, Burak Delier, Hasan Deniz, Cemal Emden, Baris Gokturk, Ali Kazma and Vahit Tuna relate to the location, function, history and space of Galatasaray High School by means of painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, sound and performance. Although the graduate artists of Galatasaray High School and the reflection of their personal experiences on their artistic practices have been considered valuable, room has been made for perspectives to be brought in by artists looking upon the school, an organic part of the city for 150 years, from the square ? namely, from the outside, to those peeking in while passing by, and to those who perhaps live in its vicinity and have it in their thoughts. Rather than providing an art-historical selection of sorts, the School Square Galatasaray exhibition aims to gaze into the past from the vantage point of the present and pass on new works to the future. The exhibition catalogue presents three articles, which provides different perspectives on culture of Galatasaray. The curator of the exhibition Celenk Bafra?s essay on the relationship between the school and the square contextualizes the works in the exhibition. Besim F. Dellaloglu presents his thoughts about what it means to experience Galatasaray High School. Murat Alat uses his personal experience to contemplate on the idea of school and education in a more general sense. Seller Inventory # 75355
