The French artistic movement l’UX (Urban eXperiment)
and its
spoke people Lazar Kunstmann are exhibiting until DEC. 12 at the
Istanbul Design Biennial.
Located at the Galata Greek Primary School, this exhibit is part of
Adhocracy, curated by Joseph Grima, a Milan-based architect and editor
of
Domus Magazine.
The exhibition named "Panthéon, mode d'emploi - L'UX" is
divided
in two
major parts.
The first one consists in
H.D. photographs in big luminous boxes and posters explaining the
different known activities of l'UX, from La Mexicaine De
Perforation
(clandestine cinema) to the Untergunther (restoration of the Panthéon
clock).
Following this, a screening room where the film
"Panthéon, mode
d’emploi" ("Pantheon, user's guide") by Lazar Kunstmann is projected
alternatively with Turkish and English subtitles will welcome you.
Note that to be comfortable and appreciate the film, you will be seated
in wooden club chairs which are the reproduction of
those used in the Panthéon.
The film and the documentation presented here were produced by l'UX
itself and have never been shown publicly before. Obviously, none
governemental agency or bureaucratic administration sponsored this
exhibition.
With this exhibition, no doubt that we will have news soon from these
secret activists.
Stay tuned!
