Fantastic Icons

Pera Enabled

How about a tour among the fantastic figures in the icons on display in the “What Byzantinism Is This in Istanbul!” exhibition? In a guided online 3D tour, we explore the exhibition and its collection of modern renditions of Byzantine history on various artistic media, and examine artworks where artists combined historical facts with imagination. In the workshop, we create mosaics of imaginary characters, taking inspiration from the icons in the exhibition. The workshop helps improve cognitive, sensory and psychomotor skills.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

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.
