Antonio Cosentino in Istanbul and Berlin (01/06/2017)


Antonio Cosentino took part in the panel "Art as alternative archive: a roundtable on the role of contemporary art and theatre in the urban context," which took place at NIT (Netherlands Institute Turkey) Istanbul on April 26. The roundtable aimed to discuss the role and function of urban-based contemporary art and theater practices as alternative urban archives and invite participants to see the relationships between art, memory, and space in a new light. Cosentino was accompanied by playwright Ahmet Sami Özbudak, art historian Ayşe Erek, and researcher Esra Almas.

 

Meanwhile, Cosentino was the third artist after Alpin Arda Bağcık and Zeynep Kayan to be invited to Zilberman Gallery's artist-in-residence program in Berlin. The artist presented his new works and talked about his experiences in Berlin at the event "Open Studio: Antonio Cosentino" between June 28 and 30.
