Die Landvermesserin (aus der Istanbul Serie), 2018, Silver gelatin print, 23 × 20 in.

Kunst an Kölner Litfaßsäulen

Der enge, begrenzte Raum der Litfaßsäule wird in dem Spielfilm Moritz und die Litfaßsäule (DDR 1985) für den kleinen Moritz zum weiten, grenzenlosen Land der Phantasie.
 Was damals für Moritz die Litfaßsäule war, eine Tür, die Zugang zu Geschichten und Imaginationen ermöglichte, wurden später für mich 
die Galerien und Museen der Welt. 

Die Photographie zeigt eine Wendeltreppe im Archäologischen Museum in Istanbul und erinnert an die freischwebende Wendeltreppe im Eingangsbereich des ehemaligen, am Istanbuler Taksim Platz gelegenen AKM (Atatürk- Kulturzentrum), das 2018 abgerissen - und somit ein wichtiger Ort für die Istanbuler und die kulturelle Szene Geschichte wurde.

In the feature film Moritz and the Advertising Column (GDR 1985), the narrow, limited space of the advertising pillar becomes a vast, boundless land of imagination for little Moritz. For Moritz, the advertising pillar was a door that gave access to stories and imaginations. For me, the same became true with the galleries and museums of the world. The photograph shows a spiral staircase in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul and is reminiscent of the free-floating spiral staircase in the entrance area of the former AKM (Atatürk Cultural Center) located on Istanbul's Taksim Square, which was demolished in 2018 - and thus an important place for Istanbul's cultural scene became history.

The Advertising Column can be seen at 25 locations in Cologne until mid-June 2022.

Muttersprache/ Vaterland, 2022

archipelago.page is a network that connects and publishes a growing range of topics. These topics are organised into clusters, each containing a multitude of content, such as; text, images and audio-visual recordings, as well as recommendations of literature, other webpages, projects etc. Its subjects mainly stem from, but are not limited to, the realm of contemporary art, they often arise from the interests of the founders of archipelago.page: the team of Kunstverein Langenhagen.* In structure the platform resembles an archipelago: it consists of a growing number of individual islands and visualizes their specific characteristics and mutual influences. The different clusters are comprised of collections of material that often remains invisible within the context of an exhibition. Lastly archipelago.page maps the connections, intersections and interferences of its topics and thus visualizes the complexity of their relationships.

The clusters and their contents are created and edited by individual authors, teams or in collaboration achipelago.page is open-ended. Its current state is the starting point for its further development.

Die in Hannover geboren und in Langenhagen aufgewachsene Künstlerin reflektiert in ihren Arbeiten die Frage kultureller Identitäten, Transfer- und Migrationsbewegungen, die sich den Dingen einschreiben und die sie in einer performativen Bewegung miteinander in Beziehung setzt. Für Archipelago unter Die Landvermesserin arbeitet Viola Yeşiltaç an einer Soundcollage mit Aufnahmen, die in Transit sowie vor Ort in Langenhagen entstanden sind. Ausserdem befinden sich links und Referenzen und Einges mehr im dem Cluster.
