ALTINDERE, HALIL Reality is elsewhere = Gerceklik baska yerde. December 19th - January 31th, 2015. Edited by Nursac Sargon. [Exhibition catalogue]. Istanbul: Revolver Publishing / Art-ist Yayincilik, 2015. Large 8vo., 108, [4] p., color ills. In English and Turkish. Printed to 1000 copies. Original binding. New ISBN: 9783957632777 CATALOG: Photographs KEYWORDS: Contemprary Art Modern art Halil Altindere, whose works have been recognized not only in Turkey but all over the world, presents his recent works that were produced in the last three years. The exhibition includes 15 pieces of videos, sculptures, paintings and objects. The artist who reversed the conceptions of nation-state and authority through works on everyday objects like identity cards, banknotes, stamps in his early productions, started to focus on subcultures, gender and odd-but-ordinary situations of everyday life after the 2000s. He often likes to present reality that looks like fiction, and fiction that looks like reality. His ironic and political approach can grasp the audience easily. 'Reality is Elsewhere' comprises of his latest productions presented at international exhibitions that have not been on display in Turkey. The exhibition, which heaps up in three parts, springs the idea of reality. It endeavors to face the art world, to narrate the odd-but-ordinary stories and to understand the past and present of Turkey. Altindere's works that mixes up reality and fiction are more oriented towards transgressing the boundaries of geography and time. Altindere twists the idea of medium of the artwork and art appreciation through his waxworks of common people who could never be imagined as waxwork figures due to their non-famous personalities ?as the waxwork would only be suitable for 'valuables' and 'populars'. A guy going mad in an art space, a spectator talking on phone and a baby touching an electric plug create the surprising axis of the exhibition. The artist's point of confronting art and self was formerly handled in 1994, during his school years, in a work 'Homage to Toulouse-Loutrec' followed by his works ''My Mother Likes Pop-Art Because Pop-Art Is Colourful'' and ''My Mother Likes Fluxus Because Fluxus is Anti-Art'' and dollar sign marks on Esat Tekand's artwork. The peak of the confrontation was reached by his most recent works, which are now creating the current exhibition. And, the popular discussions of the 90s, especially the clash of abstract and figurative art becomes visible: 'You are the real abstract, figurative is your dad.'.…
