Adapted from Pierre Drieu La Rochelle's novel Le Feu Follet, the film Oslo, August 31st follows its main character, Anders, as he leaves the rehabilitation center where he is being treated for drug addiction on a one-day pass to Oslo. This experience turns into a journey where Anders confronts his old friends and family and has the opportunity to re-evaluate his life. Oslo, August 31st highlights the urban texture of Oslo, showing how the city's streets intertwine with Anders' inner journey. As Anders visits to various places throughout the city during the day, including parks, cafes, streets, and its nightlife, the city serves as a refuge for him and a backdrop against which he confronts himself.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
