Have you ever taken a close look at the shapes and colors of the cups in your home? Do you know what material the cups are made of? We start our workshop by looking at the exhibited works during a guided online tour and then explore the interesting world of ceramics. Afterwards, we learn the basic ceramic techniques using clay dough. We knead the clay, give it shape and paint it to finalize our cup designs. In this workshop, we develop our creativity, let our dreams take shape with materials and portray them freely.

Artist Nicola Lorini in Conversation

Artist Nicola Lorini in Conversation

Inspired by its Anatolian Weights and Measures Collection, Pera Museum presents a contemporary video installation titled For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones at the gallery that hosts the Collection. The installation by the artist Nicola Lorini takes its starting point from recent events, in particular the calculation of the hypothetical mass of the Internet and the weight lost by the model of the kilogram and its consequent redefinition, and traces a non-linear voyage through the Collection.

The adventure of the Big ‘K’

The adventure of the Big ‘K’

In a bid to review the International System of Units (SI), the International Bureau of Weights and Measures gathered at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures on November 16, 2018. Sixty member states have voted for changing four out of seven basic units of measurement. The kilogram is among the modified. Before describing the key points, let us have a closer look into the kilogram and its history.
