Have you ever noticed the old-style chandeliers with shiny crystals at the Museum’s Cafe? One of these chandeliers has been taken upstairs to the exhibition floors to be shown at PƎRⱯ Reverse, while a completely different light source was used as its replacement. At this workshop, kids who are inspired by the exhibition design a chandelier of Pera Museum. By using transparent papers, paints and the playful interactions of light, the kids get hands-on experience in working with concepts, such as color theory, transparency, and light.
Instructor: Pley Studio
Capacity: 12 people
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place in the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

I think it was Frank Zappa – though others claim it was Laurie Anderson – who said in an interview that ‘writing on music is much like dancing on architecture’.
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’.
