Spectrography: Tracing the Ghosts
Artists: Anna Barseghian, Stefan Kristensen, Uriel Orlow,
Méliné Ter Minassian (performance)
March 15 - April 12, 2015
Opening: Saturday, March 14, 18:00
Performance: Güle Is Very Beautiful, Ter Minassian & Barseghian, 19:00
This collaborative exhibition by Anna Barseghian, Stefan Kristensen and
Uriel Orlow is the outcome of an intense dialogue among the artists on
the memory and the wounds of Armenian history, and of a common trip to
Southeastern Turkey.
Photographs and video works which explore a haunted territory, intend to
make the absence of the disappeared visible in landscapes and ruins. By
relating to people, listening to the silences of their words, and the
expressions on their faces, the works allow untimely memories to emerge
at a turning of a path, on the side of a mountain, and in the radiance
of a face.
Barseghian and Kristensen visiting the villages of their grandparents
try to trace the Armenian presence in these places. They listen to the
story of Gülizar, whose name has become a symbol of resistance
among both Armenians and Kurds. Ter Minassian and Barseghian will be
performing their relation to the story of this legendary character.
Orlow's videos bring together the hometown of homeless ghosts,
Moosh, and a housing project with the same name in Northern Armenia
which is left in an incomplete ghostly state, and also look at the ruins
of old Armenian monsatery Surp Garabed and the new habitation that
emerged on the site.
Arménouhie Kévonian's book Gülizar'ın Kara
DüÄ=9Fünü [Black Wedding of Gülizar] published by
Aras Publishing will also be launched during the exhibition opening.
2015 Exhibition Program of DEPO is being realized in cooperation with
Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
