Eröffnungsperformance
Göksu KunakDescription
As part of the donaufestival, Göksu Kunak from Turkey addresses political manipulation and cover-ups. The exhibition at Kunsthalle Krems includes a sculpture, an installation, paintings, prints and a performance with a pole dancer and a person climbing.
"Bygone Innocence" is based on the car accident in Susurluk in 1996. Weapons were found in the wreckage. Among the victims: the former chief of the Istanbul police and a member of the Grey Wolves organisation who was sought by Interpol. This constellation uncovered the existence of a controversial criminal network in Turkey. Kunak’s work explores the politics of concealment and interprets the notion of the crash as a fetish – all systems down between drama and soap opera.
