Moving Image art fair is very pleased to announce the artists and participating
galleries and non-profit institutions in our inaugural edition in Istanbul. Being held in
the Kuleli Building at the Halic Congress Center, September 25-28, 2014, Moving
Image Istanbul runs in parallel with ArtInternational art fair, and will present a selection of single-channel videos and installations from across the globe. Moving Image has
been conceived to offer a viewing experience with the excitement and vitality of a fair,
while allowing moving-image-based artworks to be understood and appreciated on
their own terms.
Highlights of the 2014 Istanbul fair include several world premeires, including videos
by Şener Özmen (PİLOT Gallery, Istanbul); Jonathan Monaghan (Curator's Office,
Washington DC); Shaun Gladwell (Mark Moore Gallery, Culver City); and Nancy
Atakan & Volkan Aslan (5533, Istanbul). Single-channel videos at the fair include
works by Nino Cais (Central Galeria de Arte, Sao Paulo); Chen Tianzhuo (Vanguard
Gallery, Shanghai), and Mounir Fatmi (Galerie Analix Forever, Paris). Among the
historical films in the fair are works by David Wojnarowicz (P•P•O•W, New York) and
Leslie Thornton (Winkleman Gallery, New York). Several large installations include
works by Wolfgang Staehle (Postmasters, New York); Hans Op de Beeck (Marianne
Boesky Gallery, New York); Basim Magdy (artSümer, Istanbul); and Sue de Beer
(Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York).
Among the special events sponsored by Moving Image Istanbul are "Bring Your own
Beamer" (BYOB) at Pera Museum, a one-night exhibition/performance by
unrepresented, emerging Turkish film and video artists who will take over the fifth floor
gallery hall of Pera Musuem in an improvised installation. Curated by Fatma
Çolakoğlu and Ulya Soley, BYOB at Pera Museum runs 19:00-22:00, Saturday,
September 27, 2014. Also Mari Spirito, Founding Director of Protocinema, will host a
screening and conversation with emerging artist Atalay Yavuz, who works with readily
available materials. This events will take place at Moving Image on Saturday,
September 27, 16:00–17:30.
