KASA Galeri invites audiences to the re-produced world of possibilities of anonymity where they can create together and experience the practice of sharing.
Sabancı University KASA Galeri reopens its doors after 5 years with an exhibition titled “ANONYMOUS.” As an alternative and independent artistic sphere, Kasa designed its relaunch exhibition with artists who prefer to remain anonymous. The “ANONYMOUS” exhibition will be available for visiting at Sabancı University Kasa Galeri between January 14th and March 8th, 2015.
Modesty and excellence had been the cornerstones of Kasa when first opened, and the relaunch is not only significant in its institutional history, but along the lines of the artistic and political mood of the day as well. This attitude may be the way Kasa will design its exhibitions in the future. Kasa Galeri resumes its journey with the ambition of becoming a medium of knowledge sharing among a non-hierarchical administrative team and between this team and the artists they will cooperate with.
This may be the right time to envisage new formats, new platforms, and new artistic attitudes that contain a fair amount of sharing rather than the will to become a star. Under market conditions where artists turn into celebrity icons, anonymity as a strategy has been adopted in art circles long ago, and the assertions of artists and artist groups that emphasize collective production and anonymity are viable methods. Kasa’s relaunch event “ANONYMOUS” revisits the act of being alternative as defined by anonymity, and asserts a critical context regarding work of art/artist identity, original/copy and property/value.
KASA Galeri invites audiences to the re-produced world of possibilities of anonymity where they can create together and experience the practice of sharing between January 14th and March 8th, 2015.
