In Paul
Simon's legendary album Graceland, you can easily feel the interactions
from Simon's elapse time in South Africa and the discoveries he did there.
Under African Skies, which documents Simon's comeback to South Africa
to celebrate Graceland's 25th anniversary, is not only about
the Paul Simon gig in the country. It also includes some worthy footage from old
archives as well as the political backdrop in South Africa from the time the
album was recorded.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
