more words, lines and beats on a Week

On occasion of his solo exhibition Week, Kunsthalle Basel is pleased to welcome Cevdet Erek for a public evening lecture. Erek will talk about his current research and about how – in the context of his present interests – he conceived of the site-specific installation in the Kunsthalle Basel skylight hall. Erek will use the format of the lecture to offer insight into his artistic practice and will illustrate examples of other earlier and current work through a live mix. 
The talk will be followed by questions from the audience and there will be time for refreshments and further discussion after the talk.

The exhibition entitled Week by Cevdet Erek can be visited at Kunsthalle until March 18.

Location: skylight hall of Kunsthalle Basel
Admission fee: free

1. These rulers are not timelines themselves.

2. These rulers are timeline makers.

3. The usual rulers (in the world of distance, angle or measured space) are tools for measuring and drawing, cutting etc.

4. These rulers are meant to be tools for drawing (or tools to be looked at and contemplated). I mean, I am not making an absurd proposition to ‘measure time.’

5. Sketches of bird’s eye views of chronologies

6. with or without scale.

7. Dates or any kind of marks on these rulers are proposed (only and only) as reference points. Like 0, 1, 2 on a usual ruler. I am doing my best not to make any comment on them.

8. I don’t know what 1971, 1974 or 1980 means to you. Just as I can’t guess what you will measure or draw with a 10 meter long tape measure.

1. These rulers are not timelines themselves.

2. These rulers are timeline makers.
