Şekerbank Açıkekran New Media Arts Gallery this time hosts a group exhibition. The works of Haluk Akakçe, Christelle Familiari, Ali Emir Tapan and Seza Paker, which examine the time perception together with the “existence” notion, also reflect the fine tension among the sound, music and image. 

Within the scope of the exhibition that has placed relation of the visual arts with the sound and the silence at its center, the gallery space offers the watchers an area where they can experience the interdisciplinary interaction through the waltz accompanying Haluk Akakçe’s animation and Elle Fitzgerald vocal accompanying Seza Paker’s visual world. The video fictionalized by Christelle Familiari on silence and transitivity and Ali Emir Tapan’s work “Rehearsal” referring to the rehearsal of an orchestra complete the exhibition with the metaphors they use. 

The exhibition to be open to visits by the 12th of September in Şekerbank Açıkekran New Media Arts Gallery will meet the art lovers every day except Mondays and Sundays. Haluk Akakçe’s work "Shadow Machine" displaying the heterogeneous compositions composed of adjacency of the misfits in company with waltz and making a reference to the modern world can be watched 24 days a day in 9 branches of Şekerbank in Istanbul Feneryolu, Ankara Küçükesat and Çankaya, Tekirdağ Alpullu, Ordu, Izmir, Bodrum, Mardin and Edirne simultaneously with the Açıkekran New Media Arts Gallery in Teşvikiye through specially-designed monitors.
