Concept
Nezaket Ekici performed live around her 20 years career in more than 170 cities, 60 countries on 4 continents. In her performance “Personal Map”, she is armed with nails, a hammer and a red string. Ekici spins her personal world map like a spider network of her more than 250 performances on a white wooden panel. She will involve the public in her action. Public will do with her some fragment of performances. As well she will ask the public to help her to define on the white plattform the location of the cities. Seen from a global perspective, Ekici tells a global story of art and it seems, art is following the globalization process. Perhaps art is even the power of connecting cultures and people to form a borderless living space of human kind. At SSM in Istanbul, it will be the first time for Ekici to do this performance for 10 days in sequence and 8 h each day, in total 80 hours. The audience will have the impression, as if they have the chance to follow up Ekici´s performance life in real time as it does not seem to come to an end. She occupies time and space with this work, which is a meta-work as it is an artwork about her artworks. It allows not only to get an overview about her works and the way she works but it also forms a time and space continuum, that shows the essence of performance art. ---- Presented Live since 2008: -10th Asiatopia International Performance Festival, Bangkok 2008 (6 hours live Performance) -Gedok Stuttgart 2009 (8 hours live Performance) -Ebent 09 Tensions, Performancefestival , Sabadell 2009 (8 hours live Performance) -5th Latin-American Biennal of Visual Arts, Vento Sul, Curitiba, Brasilien, 2009 (2 days -each 8 hours live Performance,) -Performances in der Ausstellung: Global Contemporary, Kunstwelten nach 1989, ZKM Karlsruhe, 2011/2012 ( 2 day- each 6 hours live performance) - Forum Migration, Tiroler Landesmuseen, Innsbruck 18.1.-28.2.2018 (10 hours live performance
