Inspired by the concept of composting that is at the center of the 17th Istanbul Biennial, this workshop will turn our attention to the life below and above the ground as we look into the cycle of energy and nutrition. With the help of materials such as a sponge, felt and opaque watercolors, we reproduce the endless cycle of plants-bacteria-worms and other earth creatures on our drawing paper. Our imaginations are stimulated as we look at nature and all the aspects of it that we are a part of from a different perspective.

At The Well

At The Well

Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz discovered the Orient in 1877, touring Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and the Crimea with Władysław Branicki. This experience made a profound impression on him, and he was to continuously revisit Eastern themes in his works for the rest of his life. 

Game of Mangala

Game of Mangala

Three figures in Eastern dress are shown in repose against an exotic landscape, smoking pipes and playing mangala. Inventories of the royal collections from 1739 identify the members of this group as the royal eunuch Matthias and two odalisques. 

At the Order of the Padishah

At the Order of the Padishah

In this piece, Żmurko presents an exotic image of a harem chamber, replete with gleaming fabrics and scattered jewels, as a setting for the statuesquely beautiful body of an odalisque murdered “at the order of the padishah”.
