SiS Collective
Artists from Istanbul, Izmir, and Mardin have come together in Berlin at Apartment Project in July 2016 for a-month long experience of communal living and production. This marks the beginning of a one-year long process called Mist. Aiming for low visibility and high presence, the artists are considering positions, actions, and presence they can take in response to the accelerating trans–geographic state of exception.
The idea was to articulate at a time when the conceptual and visual frameworks that artists work with seem to fall short. To try to talk about the contemporary times indirectly, using allegories, metaphors, and self-inflicted filters, contributing artists of Mist are looking for modes of expression to both overcome and infiltrate our quotidian.
