BOOK PRESENTATION: CEVDET EREK, ROOM OF RHYTHMS 1

ENGLISH

Free with dOCUMENTA (13) ticket.

Walther König
Presented by Cevdet Erek and Övül Durmuşoğlu

Part of an ongoing exploration, “Room of Rhythms 1” is based on a conversation between Cevdet Erek and Duygu Demir that reflects on themes of sound, architecture, rhythm, measured time, dance music and site-specificity. The book that marks the first volume of this process provides an insight into Cevdet Erek’s practice as an artist, summing up the artistic research that led to “Room of Rhythms”, an experiential installation presented at dOCUMENTA (13). The artist invites the audience to his installation after the presentation.
