Curator: Zeynep Öz. Commissioner: IKSV. Seat: Arsenale Press Release of Turkish Pavilion of 58th Venice Biennale of ArtWe, Elsewhere, a new work by Inci Eviner will be presented in the Pavilion of Turkey at the 58th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, to be held from 11 May through 24 November 2019.Organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV) and sponsored by Fiat, the Pavilion of Turkey will be curated by Zeynep Öz and located at Sale dArmi, which is one of the main exhibition venues of La Biennale di Venezia. We, Elsewhere is created as a site-specific installation for the Pavilion of Turkey at the 58th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia and makes use of elements such as reconfigured objects as well as drawings, video, sound, and performance. It is an investigation into the spaces that we create, and are created for us as a result of collective displacement. The exhibition ruminates on how subjects who find themselves in these spaces react and interact with one another and with their memories. Various elements of sound, reconfigured objects and characters crafted by Eviner evoke the sense of a search for the missing, the erased and that which is elsewhere. A certain aggression and abruptness comes out in the characters everyday behaviour informing their identities in transition. The space itself, in which visitors are invited to walk along the ramps, courtyards and edges, displays permeability, allowing views through cuts and cracks along the walls. The paths punctuated by the objects suggest the way in which memory eases conflicts. Together, the characters, the space and the paths tell a story akin to Hannah Arendts narrative of struggles in We Refugees. At the press conference held at Salon IKSV on Tuesday, 12 February, where the conceptual framework was announced, Inci Eviner said: These figures are constantly changing places through the space to find their other halves. This effort is actually an attempt to reclaim their interrupted and invalidated memory and bodies. In doing so, mythologies and memories, the habits of everyday life, their joy and sorrow need to be picked up one by one and put into place. I try to keep myself in and out of events to witness all of this. The responsibility of being a witness is in the questioning of being "us". Regarding Eviners practice and her new work, Zeynep Öz said: Eviner uses the architectural component in We, Elsewhere as the stage on which elements of action come together in order to think through issues of migration and confinement in shaping continuously shifting subjectivities. Inci Eviner received prizes from the Sharjah Art Biennial in 2017 (13 Prize); she was also invited to artist residencies such as Rauschenberg Foundation in Florida, Headlands Center for the Arts in California, SAM Art Projects in Paris and MAC/VAL Paris.
