Children on a guided tour of Calculations and Coincidences are inspired by the geometric arrangements, calculated sequences and colors they encounter in the works in the exhibition. Children, who have learned the handicraft of filography, which is usually created by hammering nails into wood and passing threads or wires of various colors between them, reinterpret this art on an inclined surface. The children randomly drive nails into Styrofoam balls or, according to a particular pattern, weave nets with colorful threads between these nails and create colorful abstract and figurative designs.
Capacity: 12 people

Fee per workshop: 250 TL
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
Pera Museum, in collaboration with Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), is one of the main venues for this year’s 15th Istanbul Biennial from 16 September to 12 November 2017. Through the biennial, we will be sharing detailed information about the artists and the artworks.
