Face-to-Face

Did you know that some stones found in nature are very valuable? What could these stones be used for, with their eye-catching color and shine? We will take a closer look at artist Kıymet Daştan’s work consisting of 15 artificial stones, which she made by melting CDs. In our workshop, we will create unique patterns inspired by the abstract patterns of natural stones and crystals found in various shapes and colors in nature by using watercolor and cling wrap. In the workshop, we will tap into our imagination and creativity while improving our hand-eye coordination.

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.
