In semantischen Feldern erforscht Silvina Der Meguerditchian den Raum zwischen dem Bild und dem geschriebenen Wort und zerlegt ihn in seine kleinsten Bestandteile. Papier - der primäre Träger des
geschriebenen Wortes - wird durch die Materialität von Wolle oder Garn durchstochen. Die Worte "wir", "Liebe", "Ort" oder "Zusammen" werden in einem Dickicht aus Fasern dekonstruiert und zu einem
schwer entzifferbaren Rätsel. Diese "wollene Kodierung" mit ihrer weichen, porösen Oberfläche verweist auf die osmotischen Eigenschaften der Sprache und die durchlässigen Grenzen zwischen Ideen und
ihren Bezeichnern.
In DURCH UND DURCH sticht Silvina Der Meguerditchian mit Wolle das Wort Zusammen auf Papier. Das Werk regt an, über das Kollektive nachzudenken, seine Ursprünge, zum Beispiel im Paradies der
christlichen Genese, aber auch seine Entwicklung im persönlichen wie gesellschaftspolitischen Umfeld bis heute.

In the exhibition spaces, objects from the ethnological museums in Dresden and Leipzig enter into dialogue with works by artists and activists. A poetic trail accompanies and comments on the
exhibition. As a result, a network is created in which spaces are opened up for action and speech. Central to this is the utopia of empathetic remembrance and a future that transcends
speechlessness.

Wohin-Nereye? Theater Parcours in Fener/Balat Istanbul
Theaterparcours in Fener-Balat/ Istanbul / Premiere 24.Mai 2014 um 14:00 - Treffpunkt Café Hanimeli in Akçin Sokak Balat No: 3, Fener, İstanbul Eintritt frei | Anmeldung bis 23. Mai 2014
unter: buromilk(at)gmail.com
Wohin-Nereye? ist eine theatrale Suche nach den Auswirkungen von Verdrängung im Viertel Fener-Balat in Istanbul. Armenier, Griechen und Juden haben in der ersten Hälfe des 20. Jahrhunderts das
Viertel geprägt, in den 70er Jahren kamen Einwanderer aus der Schwarzmeerregion, später Kurden und Roma. Ein geheimnisvoller Stadtteil ist dort erwachsen und aufgrund der häufig traumatischen
Erfahrungen der Vertriebenen auch ein bitterer. Heute wird das kulturelle und soziale Leben in Fener-Balat durch Immobilienspekulation und Kahlschlagsanierung zunehmend zerstört. Doch noch lassen
sich Spuren verschiedener Gemeinden finden.
Die Protagonisten von Wohin-Nereye sind Experten des Alltags: Vertriebene, die heimisch
geworden sind in Fener-Balat und nun abermals gehen müssen. Basierend auf Interviews mit dem letzten Armenischen Bewohner von Balat, mit einer der letzten Schülerinnen der Griechischen Mädchenschule
Yoakimion, mit dem Inhaber des Cafés Hanimeli und mit dem Leiter des jüdischen Altersheims ist ein Panoptikum persönlicher Erfahrungen und Wahrnehmungen entstanden. In einem Parcours durchlaufen die
Zuschauer städtische Transiträume in Fener-Balat und begegnen den Protagonisten. Dabei bietet der selbst zurückgelegte Weg neue Erfahrungen und Blickweisen auf das vergangene und heutige Viertel
Fener-Balat und seine Bewohner.

Exhibition: Memory without a place in DEPO - Istanbul
Our Nimbus 3000 - 2014 - Ready made object
Silvina Der-Meguerditchian's second solo exhibition in Istanbul, hosted by Depo, from April 18 till 25. May
One of the leading visual motifs in Der-Meguerditchian's oeuvre is cords of various forms that come in red. Presented as wool threads, long strings and braids, they beget a wide range of associations, which evoke mostly organic structures such as blood vessels, neural systems, blood spills and spider webs. It feels as if they have an organic integrity and texture, at times recalling closely interwoven fabric patterns. These fibers seem to be unraveling from where they belong, driven away, scattered, and fractured. Yet, they don't lose contact entirely with the site of origin. One end of the thread maintains its touch with this unity. (...)
ՄԻԱՍԻՆ - MJ’ASIN - VERFLECHTUNGEN
Silvina Der-Meguerditchian and Jasmin İhraç
21.-24.3.2014, 20 Uhr
mj’asin is the Armenian word for “together”. The visual artist Silvina Der-Meguerditchian and the choreographer and dancer Jasmin İhraç embark on a search for what supposedly connects them: their Armenian roots. Walking through tradition and history, they come upon blind spots, absence and loss. And their unusual play with traditional symbols, techniques and folk dances invariably makes a connection to the present: will yesterday’s community remain today’s yearning? Where is the resistance in cross-stitch and lockstep? What are fragments and documents of our appropriation? The multimedia performance, consisting of sound, objects, installations and dance, makes use of the notion of synchronicity and opens up a new space for the different perspectives.
