CHOE U-RAM

CHOE U-RAM, Unicus - Cavum ad Initium

CHOE U-RAM, Merry-Go-Round

CHOE U-RAM, Ouroboros

CHOE U-RAM, Pavilion

The works of Choe U-Ram Korean artist are based on creating new forms of life and attributing to the re-imagining this cycle.

To compare these two koreans artists, the common thing they share is that both their works are related with life. But Choe U Ram crates new forms of life through based on machines and these machines as the lively creatures. On the other hand, Miru Kim aims to give a lively spirit to the abondoned, ruined places but she does it with human which is herself.

The summary from Zeytinoğlu's lecture is that even something is not valuable, when you have put some meanings to them fom history that is the time that thing became valuable and an art work from people's point of view. 

ASSIGNMENT - I

Antoni Tapies, Kurşuni Aşıboyası (1958)

In this work, Tapies shows the emotions of despair and anger and reminds us the changes that time leaves on us. However, the drone that I drew symbolizes the times that how we suddenly get rid of such evil emotions and start to feel refreshed, bright and hopeful.

AMIR SHINGRAY

AMIR SHINGRAY

AMIR SHINGRAY  (1962, Sudan)

The first day of the New Media Art Class, Sudanese - Canadian Amir Shingray  became our guest.

For us, to understand his works, firstly he shortly went through his life story.

Shingray left his country in 1984 because of the political and other problems in the country.

He is interested in history and many of his works that he shared with us include history of Sudan.

 This is one of his works that emotionaly destructs me. The work is called 'Nation Building'. Sudan became independent in 1956 and this works refers to the violence that was experienced in Sudan during English dominion. It examplifies the execution of people.

NATION BUILDING

 This is the another work of Shingray I really love. It refers to his abandonment of his country.

I would like to say that  with Shingray it was an awesome start for the New Media classes of this semester.

Thanks a lot to Amir Shingray for such a nice talk and Thanks a lot to our amazing professor Genco Gülan to invite him.
