How did people use to shop? How did they measure the commodities they were buying? After a guided tour of the exhibition, we explore the types of weights Anatolian merchants used in the past. Then we take a detailed look at weight units made of lead, which depict urban legends and other stories, and then design our own weights using ceramic clay. Through this workshop, we learn about weights used in Anatolia over the centuries while developing our dexterity and imagination.

In 1962 Philip Corner, one of the most prominent members of the Fluxus movement, caused a great commotion in serious music circles when during a performance entitled Piano Activities he climbed up onto a grand piano and began to kick it while other members of the group attacked it with saws, hammers and all kinds of other implements.
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’.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
