Stories Exhibition @ Milk Gallery Istanbul

July 10, 2009

Bir soğuk bardak sütten daha serinletici ne olabilir? Okey, herhalde herşey ama Milk Gallery‘de ki sergi o kadar ‘cool’ ki herkezi serinletir! ‘Stories’ bir kaç genç Türk sanatçının işlerini sergiliyor: Bora Başkan, Gökhan Okur, Ufuk Atan, Merve Morkoç ve Ayşe Küçük. Sergi 2 Temmuz’da başladı ve 20 Ağustos’a kadar devam edecek. Sakın kaçırmayın ve unutmayın Milk sadece galleri değil, süper güzel Lomography fotoğraf makineleri ve Ndeur ayakkabıları da var!!

Milk Gallery Istanbul - Exhibition Stories
Ain’t nothing more refreshing like Milk on a hot summer’s day (okay, perhaps Ayran or a Solero Twister), but with an exhibition like this Milk Gallery is the place to visit. ‘Stories’ is all about the work of several Turkish artists that have made, or will do so in the near future, their international break throughs: Bora Başkan, Gökhan Okur, Ufuk Atan, Merve Morkoç and Ayşe Küçük. The exhibition started the 2nd of July and is going on till the 20th of August. Yes, we know it’s warm, but this gallery is nice and cool. So are the people running it and the art on the wall, so you better pay Milk a visit! And don’t forget to bring your checkbooks, because there’s also a lot of stuff you can buy here (like Lomo’s, Ndeur shoes, and much more)!!

Street Art & Graffiti Exhibition – Morphosis @ Galata, Istanbul

June 18, 2009

Pabuc!’un ilk başladığı gün de beri sanki Sokak sanatı ve modasına daha fazla ilgi varmış gibi! Tabii bunun bizle hiç bir alakası olmadığını bilsek bile, sizlere hatırlatmak istedik. Her neyse, işte yeni (o kadar yeni sayılmaz çünkü 12 Haziran’dan beri açıkmış zaten) bir sergi: Morphosis! Otuza yakın sokak sanatçıya eski, tozlu, büyük bir binada yer verilince bakınız ne çıkıyor. Bir birinden güzel ver yaratıcı işleri görmek için 12 Temmuz’a kadar zamanınız var! Daha fazla bilgi için Facebook a bakın! En önemlisi tabii ki bedava olması. Sokak çocukların parası mı olur?!

morphosis-istanbul-street1 morphosis-istanbul-street2

Since the arrival of Pabuc! Istanbul has changed a lot. Although this has nothing to do with us, we still like to see some kind of inexplicable correlation between the large interest in street art and fashion, and of course the birth of this blog a year ago! That being said we take a look at an extraordinary exhibition that has even caught the eye of the New York Times: ‘Morphosis’. Around thirty Turkish street artists showcase their skills in the humongous and extremely street-dusty ‘Banker Han’ building in the Galata area. The exhibition has been open since the 12th of June and will continue till the 12th of July. Check out their Facebook Page for more info! And just so you know, it’s FREE!

Round 1 – Banksy Vs. Bristol Museum ‘09

June 13, 2009

BBC dün sabah hepimizin büyük heyecanla beklediğimiz Banksy vs. Bristol Museum sergisinin ilk fotoğrafları ve videolarını gosterdi! Bu sergi de 100′den fazla işi var ve bunların arasında 70′den fazlasi yeni. Kariyerinde ki en büyük sergi olacak ve bugün, 13 Haziran 2009′dan itibaren, 12 hafta boyunca sergilenecek! Bristol gitmek için iyi bir neden!

It’s been a while since our last post about the world’s biggest modern artist, Banksy, but thanks to High Snobiety we just found out that the BBC has some nice footage from the Banksy vs. Bristol Museum exhibtion that is opening today, the 13th of June! With more than 100 pieces and of these more than 70 new ones, this is the biggest, the hottest, the sexiest, the raunchiest, the unmissablest (yep, that’s a word….now!) exhibition of Banksy to date and we urge everybody from the States to Iran, from Zanzibar to Argentinia to go to Bristol within the next twelve weeks and check this out!

Funky Turkish Album by Bora Uzer – B1

June 8, 2009

Alain Clark, Remy Shand, ve Musiq Soulchild gibi sanatçıları aklımıza getiren Bora Uzer‘in ilk solo albümü çıktı! B1 adını taşıyan bu soulful ve funky parçalarla dolu olan albüm bizi hemen Bora hayranına dönüştürdü! Bora’yı çoğunuz ‘Kangroove’dan tanırsınız, ama şimdi tek başına da güzel müzik yapabildiğini ispatladı.

On iki şarkının sekizi Türkçe öbür dördüde Ingilizce. Kullağamızı özellikle okşıyan parçalar sa ‘Optical Illusion’ (Hollanda’lı rapper Jay Colin‘le beraber), ‘Yalan Dolan’, ‘Aramizda Bir Gerginlik Mi Var?’ ve ‘Bundan Sonra Boyle’ Kenan Dogulu‘yla beraber. Bora Beyi canlı görmek için Efes Pilsen One Love Festival‘in ilk gününe bilet alın (gidiyorsanız bari ikinci gün için neden bilet alımıyorsunuz)! Oh ve Estelle‘le beraber Almanya’da 5000 kişinin önünde muhteşem bir show verdiğini söylemişmiydik?!! Boy be dope!

Bora Uzer B1 Album

The Turkish Alain Clark, who on his turn is the Dutch Remy Shand, who again is the Canadian Musiq Soulchild, who just is American. Bora Uzer has released the funkiest and most soulful Turkish album in… ever!! With the horns, guitar riffs, nice beats and positive lyrics he made Pabuc! an immediate fan. Some readers might know him from his former project ‘Kangroove’, but ‘B1′ is Bora’s first solo album.

Eight songs are in Turkish and four of them are in English. The Turkish ones are amazingly good and in a style I haven’t heard before by a Turkish artist, the English tracks are pretty good as well. Some of the English lyrics sound a bit goofy here and there and feel a bit ‘made’, but one of the best songs on the album is actually an English one. The track ‘Optical Illusion’ features Dutch rapper Jay Colin and gives that Pete Philly & Perquisite vibe. Other must-have-on-your-iPod tracks from B1 are ‘Yalan Dolan’, ‘Aramizda Bir Gerginlik Mi Var?’ and ‘Bundan Sonra Boyle’ featuring Turkish pop star Kenan Dogulu.

If you want to see him live don’t miss Efes Pilsen One Love Festival day 2 (and while you’re at it go to day 1 as well)! Oh, and did we mention he performed with no other than Estelle in Germany for 5000 people?!!! Boy be dope!

Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament

March 16, 2009

Alıştığımız başlangıçlardan bir tanesi oldu ne yazık ki ama gerçek bu: Cut&Paste Digital Design Tournament dünyanın bir çok şehirinde yer alacak ama Istanbul bu listede yer almıyor daha! Siz de bizim gibi düşünüyorsanız bize bir mail gönderin, biz de bunu Cut&Paste’in organizasyonuna illetelim ve kim bilir gelecek sene, biz de yaratıcılımızla dünyayla kapışırız!

cutpaste_digital_design_tournament

The Cut&Paste crew is touring the globe (unfortunately no Istanbul yet, but we’re aiming to be part of the 2010 tour) and this year their line-up consists of 2D, 3D, and Motion Design in sixteen cities worldwide. It’s like a rap battle, but then designers have 20 minutes to kick each other’s ass live on stage! Yes, it’s cool as ice and we want to be part of it! New this year is the global championship taking place in NYC and there all 48 winners will battle each other!
