Using the building toy made of colorful wooden blocks with unlimited design possibilities, children design creative characters with the pieces they assemble on top of each other, side by side, and in various ways. In the workshop inspired by the exhibition PƎRⱯ Reverse, working in groups with different toy sets, the children give names and stories to the characters they design collectively. Then, on paper, they depict these characters in a fantastical space that they create by deforming the usual forms we encounter in daily life.
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

About TAHTOY
Tahtoy was founded in 2022 by artists Candan İşcan and Kerem Ardahan, who share the same studio and the same attitude towards life. With the motto "extraordinary toys for creative people", Tahtoy produces toys that liberate the play experience, nurture creativity, have no rules, and are timeless, genderless, open-ended and collectible.
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.
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.
Pera Museum presented a talk on Nicola Lorini’s video installation For All the Time, for All the Sad Stones, bringing together the artists Nicola Lorini, Gülşah Mursaloğlu and Ambiguous Standards Institute to focus on concepts like measuring, calculation, standardisation, time and change.
