In his book titled Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space, Brian O'Doherty defines the gallery as a space where "some of the sanctity of the church, the formality of the courtroom, the mystique of the experimental laboratory joins with chic design" that is the specific covering of 20th century art. For a long time this covering has been peeled and scraped off by artists and curators working on various projects and precise definitions have become blurred. With Kristina Kramer, we are going to review and share with the audience my experiences at Platform Garanti and Alti Aylik, and my independent projects.

Öykü Özsoy, Kristina Kramer’i küratöryel deneyimlerini paylaşmak üzere Açık Masa’ya davet ediyor.
