Seeing and Hearing the Composition

Pera Adult

  • January 3, 2025 / 19:00

How would Vera Molnár’s paintings of intertwined squares and seemingly irregular lines or Gizella Rákóczy's paintings of four-armed spirals changing direction be heard if they were sounds? In the workshop, the participants utilize basic design principles to evaluate visual compositions and then journey into the magical world of sound. In the workshop, where the boundaries between seeing and hearing are blurred by transforming selected works from the exhibition into auditory compositions, objects and sounds from everyday life are used to unleash creativity.

Instructor: Hanife Nurbahar Kurtlu
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 400 TL

The event will take place at the Pera Museum.

Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.

The Chronicle of Sarajevo

Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.

I walk over rocks hot as iron under the September sun. I can make out a few lines in the distance, and a few cracked rocks, but apart from those, not a single tree, not one plant
