Burçak Bingöl, Erinç Seymen, Eşref Yıldırım and Walid Siti in Berlin (01/06/2017)


Works by Burçak Bingöl, Erinç Seymen, Eşref Yıldırım and Walid Siti were presented at the show "House of Wisdom" curated by Naz Cuguoğlu and Mine Kaplangı (Collective Çukurcuma). The show, which took place at the project space Dzialdov in Berlin between 30 April and 4 June, was based on the "House of Wisdom" which was a research center founded in Baghdad at the beginning of the 8th century. Focusing on fundamental issues such as censorship, manipulation of knowledge, destruction of libraries and books, the works formed a library in Berlin as a space for research, discussion and sharing. Some of the other artists in the show were Yael Bartana, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Yazan Khalili, Fehras Publishing Practices, and Ala Younis.
