This felt like a long year, and looking back we realize why: «Chromatic Wednesdays» has realized 23 wonderful episodes full of emotion, creativity and diversity. As it’s time for the 24th and final episode of season 3, we’d like to come together one last time this year for «Chromatic Wednesdays». Join us this time for modular, audiovisual and DJ performances by Gina Lo, bianyachichi & sailormenx, B3NJO and special guest at Arkaoda Bar.
CW#23 l SEASON 3 l A Desperate Vitality
The poem «A Desperate Vitality» by Pier Paolo Pasolini from 1964 is written in cutting rhythms that move up and down, full of allusions and quotations that change between absurdity and sadness. In their performance at «Chromatic Wednesdays», Dafne Narvaez Berlfein, DuChamp, Ithaka and Seamus O’Donnell circle around this poem interpreting it between words and metaphors, sounds images and screams.
CW#21 l SEASON 3 l Some of Hell Is Born of Good Manners
Sara Neidorf and Eli Lewy invite you to an evening of horror cinema with short films and experimental art films from female and queer perspectives. Eerie, macabre and comedic, the works find a haunting and at times sadistic sense of pleasure in deconstructing the filmic conventions of horror cinema. By digesting images of the normative, intact body as a whole, they appropriate and transform the tropes of the genre, revealing the everyday horror that surrounds us.

Leman Sevda Daricioglu | There is an ocean between us.
Apartment Project is pleased to host Leman S. Darıcıoğlu’s new performance titled There is an ocean between us on 28 July 2020, Tuesday. The 7-hour long performance is the result of a thread of self-directed questions. Darıcıoğlu’s ongoing exploration of the body’s boundaries and its role as a vessel in personal expression responding to predominant social and political paradigms continues by addressing the newly arising definitions for distance, limitation, intimacy, and borders. These notions that are recently restoring their contexts are at the center of the artists’ new work, where she* reconsiders the four windows (‘screens’) of Apartment Project as a single narrative, utilizing only the facade as the project space, keeping the doors
of the venue closed for public access.
In Limbo
To float or be pulled through space. Looking up, back towards the floor. Bending backward yet moving forward. To pass below the bar towards the gap to disappear between the walls.
To linger in a state of being set back to oneself. Standing with one’s body in relation to the space and other states of being, thinking about fragility, fear, the emptiness of space, origins, cycles, and routines.
In turbulent times the Weber Class was meeting on the internet. Some of them met outside and later on at the apartment project. Here we show what we do in limbo. Come around, we look forward to it.
