The process of performance is front and center in the 3rd iteration of PerformIstanbul. Curated by Simge Burhanoğlu, this edition focuses less on live performances and more on the remains of past performances. By presenting the detritus of previous work, PerformIstanbul grapples with the nature of performance art itself and the complications in displaying art that lives and breathes. Through this examination, the artists circle around the idea of memory itself.
This Is Not A Performance features artists AslieMk, Batu Bozoğlu, Ebru Sargın L., Ekin Bernay, Gülhatun Yıldırım, İ. Ata Doğruel, Leman S. Darıcıoğlu, Özlem Ünlü and Selin Kocagöncü.
