ART BİT THE DOG:
Existence of the exhibition in its absence.
Named of ‘ HACET’ current of exhibition ended between 15 October and 10 November. It’s time to explain that some people realized some odd things at the beginning of the exhibition.
In fact that we never hoped nobody except for a few people to be interested or saw. Because, our experiences show us that will be as usual. But we should say more people interested in exhibition than we hoped.We’ll say meaning of the strange notice that people tries to understand before ending their patience ;This exhibition was planned to exist its nonexistence .coming people to see the exhibition thought in amazement and angrily, neither there is an exhibition like that near a place.Exhibition existed in in slippery surfaces of communication organs.At the beginning of the exhibition opens up the current ways to exist itself on this nonexistence . It’s open that the exhibition was a showing symptoms of the false illness. Nowadays, this was an artistic work should have all symptoms for existing(press, notification, mails, bills, web sites, publication…)but it’s not obvious. In fact that it was edited like the other exhibition to show itself off. Now , a new dimension was added to art ontology ; Circulation . One difference of this work was that the reality was exhibited in nakedness.One way of being exhibited that took it to the point of its sence untill being seen the plot.
Nowadays , there isn’t any working that doesn’t target or calculate the communication organs, or artistic objects in this plane have to exist and wiped themselves exactly.This situation can transform to obligatory excuse of artistic object but this isn’t confessed.
This situation is a conculation of named of artistic object with falls in to disfavor and becomes ineffection..also work of art and exhibitions that are supported from society of consumption even excess and is useless habit..But world of art’s all components have to feel underneath handy this emty skin so they can last their existence even line of work.
We don’t think only we feel uncomfortable from this illusion. Most of people observes these circumtances. It’s possible that hear complaints about it hoarsely in our environment. But nobody has need to imagine readily this situation untill today or waited for us that this work of art is taken shape with our colleaque’s warns.
The people that calling the exhibition and saying to discover nothing should ask really to discover or not anything to themselves. If they ask this, they can understand that maybe struggles are of no use or not; How many exhibitions have we discovered anything more than this?

A SHORT STORY (HACET)
At the beginning of the october, an exhibition news received mail addresses, then newspapers, journals and internet pages. According to this, a current art exhibition named of ‘ hacet’ would have been opened by curator Fatih Balcı. Eleven local and foreign artist had duty in exhibitionthat address is the street of şair eşref, tenha çıkmazı no;13 galata / İstanbul. The curator is explaining conceptual frame of the all objectivesin as time passes. I would act for better that is existence. It would search the fine one; it wrote panegrics to uglier than ugly. Now, it tries to act itself in cavity. Been declared artist says that they weren’t an artist and but whatever they did. Also n enormous unsuccesfullness, can be transformed in to an amazing event. If there isn’t criterion, art covers everything.
When the exhibition news was spread and as soon as pres report reached the receivers say that ‘ I’ll came to see as soon and wanted for information’about sixty mail reached the curator. Everthing was normal. There an unnormal thing; There wasn’t so that an exhibition was prepared for not being exhibited. All reasons of this work was set on it.
The people that went to see the exhibitionfaced to an office building that sells construction materials and a seller of toasted sandwiches that was given them address. The curator was explaning this in his the second press release; it’s open that the exhibition was showing symptoms of the false illness. Nowadays this was an artistic work should have all symptoms for existing ( pres, notification, mails, bills, web sites, publication…)but it’s not obvious. In fact that it was edited like an other exhibition working. like just about to show itself off.
Now a new dimension was added to art ontology; Circulation. One difference of this work was that the reality was exhibited that took it to the point of ts sense untill being seen the plot. The curator received only one mail says that ‘I suspected strange something at the end of the exhibitionand then when ı got there , there was a seller tostad of sandwiches.Also it was a journalist.But there were received so much messages at the beginning of work says that ‘ ı ll g oto see the exhibitions and say congrulations’ When the exhibition came to end , nobody realized that didn’t exist an exhibition.If the curator didn’t inform himself in the second press release , the exhibition would be registered like being exhibited.In the third press release the curator expressed so that the basic aim of this activity mustn’t miss seeing.the aim is to open disscussion and bring up the false one.Let don’t us miss seeing that if we didn’t explain so that not exist an exhibition in the second press release, nobody realized so probability in fact that didn’t exist like an exhibition.Meanwhile the important thing is an magination of workand investigated the circulation in media but the more important thing is nobody realized that includes audiences.Anymore this is the reaction of what in nonexistenceis possible to talk.Nowadays the art object isn’t necessary to talk about art worse thing is that artistic Works are informed reluctantly to produce this disscussion and circulation.But much more important thing that they behaive like everthing is allright .
What’s the form of art realizing the selection with filtered in this atmosphere or how can be possible work of art? these questions are necessrary to talk about that and contains answers that have so much dimension.
The first press release is to center the matter with all barely and to dipsel the illusion. After the second press release, descisions, and reactions are published in pres about artistic atmosphere, artistic quality and media. It stil lasts. But besides it’s the aim of the work. The curator says that ‘ after we informed that the exhibition didn’t have three dimensions, we had reactions. We satisfied of it.If we didn’t have a reaction , we’ll have more hopelessness.

SANAT KÖPEĞİ ISIRDI:
YOKLUĞUNDA VAR OLAN SERGİ
15 Ekim -10 Kasım tarihlerinde gerçekleştirilen “ Hacet” adlı Güncel Sanat Sergisi sona erdi. Serginin başından itibaren bazı kişilerin farkına vardığı tuhaflıkları açıklamak zamanıdır şimdi.
İşin esası biz sergiyi birkaç kişinin dışında kimsenin gezmesini ya da aramasını beklemiyorduk. Çünkü deneyimlerimiz bize bunun böyle olacağını göstermekteydi. Ama düşündüğümüzden daha fazla kişinin sergiyle ilgilendiğini söylememiz gerekiyor.
Bu tuhaf bildirinin ne anlama geldiğini anlamaya çalışanların sabrını taşırmadan şunu söyleyelim: Bu sergi bir şeyi yokluğunda var etmenin biçimlerini ortaya koymak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Sergiyi gezmeye gelenler biraz hayret ve kızgınlıkla şunu gördüler, ne böyle bir sergi vardı ne de böyle bir mekân. Sergi tamamen iletişim organlarının kaygan yüzeylerinde var olmuştu. Sergi başından itibaren bu yokluk üzerinde kendini var etmenin güncel yollarını deşiyordu. Sergi kendisiyle ilgili tüm belirtilerin ortada olduğu sahte bir hastalığın teşhiriydi. Günümüzde bir sanatsal çalışma için var olması gereken tüm belirtilerin olduğu (basın duyurusu, mailler, afiş, web sitesi, yayınlar…) ama kendisinin ortada olmadığı bir çalışmaydı bu. Tıpkı aslında sadece iletişim organlarında boy göstermek üzere kurgulanan diğer sergiler ve çalışmalar gibi. Sanat ontolojisine şimdi yeni bir boyut eklendi: Dolaşım. Bu çalışmanın farkı bu gerçeğin tüm çıplaklığıyla sergilenmiş olmasıydı sadece. Bunu sergilemenin yolu ise olguyu görülebilir oluncaya kadar kendi mantığının uçlarına götürmekti.
Bugün iletişim organlarını hedeflemeyen ve hesaplamayan hiçbir çalışma neredeyse olmadığı gibi; sanatsal nesneler bu düzlemlerde kendini var etme zorunluluğuyla kendilerini ortadan tamamen kaldırabilmektedirler. Bu durum sanat nesnesi zorunlu bir bahaneye dönüştürebilmekte, ama bu itiraf edilememektedir.
Bu durum sanat nesnesi denen şeyin gittikçe gözden düşmesiyle ve etkisizleşmesiyle varılan bir sonuçtur. Tüketim toplumunun desteklediği bu süreçte sanat eseri de, sergiler de artık birer fazlalık, geçmiş zamanlardan kalmış içi boş bir alışkanlıktır. Ama sanat dünyasının tüm öğeleri, varlıklarını sürdürebilmek için, inanmasalar da içi boş bu kabuğu el altında tutmak zorunda hissetmektedirler kendilerini. Sistemin işlerliğini sürdürebilmek için devam ettirdiği bir gösteri bu.
Böyle bir yanılsamadan bir tek bizim rahatsız olduğumuzu sanmıyoruz. Birçok kişi bu durumu gözlemliyor. Bu duruma ilişkin şikâyetleri, kısık sesle de olsa çevremizde duymak mümkün. Ama bu durumu gözler önüne serme isteğini bugüne dek ya kimse duymadı ya da bu mesele bizim gibi birilerini bekledi. ( ki bu çalışma dostlarımızın uyarıları altında biçimlenmiştir…)
Sergiyi arayıp hiçbir şey bulamadıklarına inananlar öncelikli olarak gerçekten bir şey bulup bulmadıklarını sormalılar kendilerine. Şu soruyu sorarlarsa belki çabalarının boşa gitmediğini anlayabilirler: Kaç sergide bundan daha fazlasını bulduk ki?
