Pera Museum Learning Programs presents workshops for adults with the program ‘’Works of Chance‘’ from December 13, 2024 to January 12, 2025. Inspired by the exhibitions Calculations and Coincidences, and In Search of Vera Molnár, this program takes participants on an interdisciplinary journey, exploring art through technological tools and computer-assisted applications, while also gaining experience with art forms such as embroidery and ceramics. Participants gain awareness through art therapy methods and step into both the visual and auditory dimensions of rhythm.

Tickets for workshops can be purchased from Biletix.

Calculations and Coincidences

Calculations and Coincidences brings together three pioneers of algorithmic art; Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer and Gizella Rákóczy through their works from the Central Bank of Hungary Collection. The exhibition focuses primarily on the profound influence of Molnar, who was unquestionably among the most significant names in computer art, while tracing how the artistic explorations of Maurer and Rákóczy have expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of algorithms and mathematics.

Calculations and Coincidences
In Search of Vera Molnár

In Search of Vera Molnár

Nudes With Mirrors

Nudes With Mirrors

Although mythological themes are not commonly encountered in Turkish painting, it is possible to see variations of widespread themes such as the Venus at her Toilet. 

History of a Khanjar

History of a Khanjar

Henryk Weyssenhoff, author of landscapes, prints, and illustrations, devoted much of his creative energies to realistic vistas of Belorussia, Lithuania, and Samogitia. A descendant of an ancient noble family which moved east to the newly Polonised Inflanty in the 17th century, the young Henryk was raised to cherish Polish national traditions.

The Search for Form

The Search for Form

A series of small and rather similar nudes Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu and Eren Eyüboğlu produced in the early 1930s almost resemble a ‘visual conversation’ that focus on a pictorial search. It is also possible to find the visual reflections of this earlier search in the synthesis Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu reached with his stylistic abstractions in the 1950s.
