Sukran Moral
The Lab Gallery, New York
Moral will create an ambience of soft red light with an armchair and a cheap Moroccan carpet. She will then interact with people passing by, showing them small placards which read "for sale, sale item, end-of-season sale, artist for sale..." and so on.
Underground Istanbul
curated by Enrico Pedrini
Sukran Moral is an artist who, since 1993, has been highly active in
the international art world. Born in Terme,Turkey, she currently
divides her time between Instanbul and Rome.
Moral is well known in Europe for her 1994 performance work in which
she posed nude on a cross, personifying a feminine Christ and the
plight of both women and immigrants on the West. At The Lab Gallery,
Moral will create an ambience of soft red light with an armchair and
a cheap Moroccan carpet. She will then interact with people passing
by, showing them small placards which read "for sale, sale item,
end-of-season sale, artist for sale..." and so on. The artist also
plans to improvise based on her creative dialogue with midtown
Manhattan. Sukran Moral's "Underground Istanbul" will be exhibiten
April 11 through April 20, with the reception at The Lab Friday April
13 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The LAB (for installation + performance art) is a New York based,
converted storefront turned fishbowl producing 30+ fast paced
performance art and installation exhibitions annually. Aimed at
furious midtown foot traffic, THE LAB's programming is designed to
confront modern relationships between art and audience and seeks to
force interaction between high energy, 'outrospective' exhibitions
and nearly 25,000 daily passersby. It is THE LAB's goal to reach out
through the glass and capture, fascinate, amuse, bemuse, soothe,
shake and satisfy any and all who pass within eye or ear shot of the
corner of 47th and Lexington.
