Photographers from Turkey, Russia and Greece


comunicato stampa

The İstanbul Modern Photography Gallery is mounting an exhibition, "Time Within Us", which will consist of works by photographers from Turkey, Russia and Greece. A collaborative effort on the part of 3 museums, "Time Within Us" is the first show of its kind opened jointly by the 3 countries.

The exhibition’s photographs were selected by the following: Engin Özendes, the Curator of Istanbul Modern Photography Exhibitions; Olga Sviblova, Director of the Moscow House of Photography; and, Vangelis Ioakimidis, the Director of the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography. The same photographs have been printed in 3 separate sets, with dimensions befitting the different galleries in which they will be shown.

Additionally, the photographs will be exhibited with comments by each of the 3 curators.

The exhibition will display photographs by artists from the 3 countries, as follows:
• from Turkey, Berk Bilgin, Tolga Özgal, Burcu Göknar, Deniz Açıkalın, and Yusuf Sevinçli;
• from Russia, Petr Lovigin, Georgy Pervov, Tim Parshikov, Natasha Pavlovskaya, and Ivan Mikhailov;
• from Greece, Paris Petridis, Panos Kokkinias, Yiorgos Kordakis, Stratos Kalafatis, and Christina Dimitriadis.

"Time Within Us", consisting of 151 photographs by 15 artists (5 from each country), will be held at Istanbul Modern Photography Gallery, from 27 January to 16 May, 2010. It will also open at the Moscow International Photography Biennial in March 2010 and at the Thessaloniki International Photography Biennial in April 2010. As a result of this schedule, the show will be running concurrently in all 3 countries in April and May of this year.

"Time Within Us" does not aspire to present a comprehensive survey of current photography in Turkey , Russia or Greece. Rather, the aim is to give viewers a closer look at work by artists who are already well established in their own countries, as well as some who are just starting to make themselves known. By showing that all of us possess a time and space of our own, within ourselves, "Time Within Us" invites viewers to discover their own "personal time and space".

At the same time, in the context of the relationship between life and art, the viewer will realize that each of the show’s 15 artists also have "an inner space" of their own, as well as their own individual temporalities and rhythms.

The "Time Within Us" project was initiated by one of the exhibition’s 3 curators, Engin Özendes. He has also identified 7 headings for the works to be displayed: "Observing", "Remembering", "Dreaming", "Using The Light", "Going Back", "Enjoying" and "Celebrating".

The Exhibition is presented as part of "Istanbul 2010 - European Capital of Culture"
