halka art project is hosting London based artist Sam Bunn as a guest artist in residency.
Bunn will live and work at halka art project's residency at Kadıköy between 02.03.2012 - 08.04.2012.
Sam Bunn is a sculptor, working in the expanded field that includes performance, video and installation.
Space is crucial to his work, which explores performative physicality, interaction with an audience, site
specificity, materials, expression and humour. Bunn's recent work plays with the idea that sculpture might
express a self-contained subjectivity.

Exhibition: Gözlem
The idea of forming a collective came after the discussion on their perceptions of life in this city.
Gözlem is an attempt to share their five month experience as the foreigners who found themselves being naively caught between excitement and amazement.
The discovery of the “ungraspable” matrix of life- systems, certain values, social structures, speed of life, fluctuation, quick glance on the market situation, economic diversity, buzzingly-detailed market life, gorgeously personal exchange and consumption stories and friendly people revealed an interesting playing ground.
The structural basis of the exhibition stands on two concepts: “Borrowing “ and “Buying" which are respectively used on socially based interactions and market relations.
Gözlem is an attempt to share some of this perspective with the city’s inhabitants. Focusing on the evident recurrent consumption in the city, the exhibition tries to propose a foreign interpretation of some matters concerning the subject in Istanbul.
The attitude of the artist collective in the conceptual and creative process can be interpreted as being ironic and sometimes intentionally funny and clumsy.
The exhibition showcases three groups of works entitled “1 Lira- 100 Kuruş”, “Mexico 66- Copy of the Copy”, and “Permanent- Collection from Moda Cad. and Dr. Esat Işık Cad.”.
Gözlem will take place between 28.02.2012 and 03.03.2012, at Lütfiye Apt. No: 14 Moda, Istanbul. The exhibition project is curated by Sezgi Abalı and İpek Çankaya and supported by halka art project.

Artist Talk / Nadim Assad
Yoğurtçu Parkı Cad. No:52, D:17 Kadıköy
çATIşMa // coLLisiOn ( l’avenir) Artist Talk & Video Screening
"...But there is also another 'collision (l’avenir)', in which I am more interested. The noun becomes a verb: to collide, to interrupt, to jar, and transforms a fixed event into a confrontation with the Other or the Unknown.“
During his residency stay at halka art project, Assad was interested to work with the term 'collision' in relation to public spheres in contemporary Istanbul.
For this evening he prepared a short input talk on his definition of 'collision (l’avenir)’ in relation to his own artistic practice as well. He will underline his talk with a video excerpt of his own video installation ’Shot / Reverse Shot’ (Jerusalem, Berlin, 2010) and the screening of ’The Negotiation’ (38min., Berlin, 2011) by Azin Feizabadi / Kaya Bekalham.
