Conscious in Coma

www.nomad-tv.net/conscious_in_coma


Conscious in Coma is an art project initiated by NOMAD in
collaboration with Goethe Institut, Istanbul and Platform Garanti
Contemporary Art Center. The project is designed to be a long-term
networking and archiving project. The name of the project indicates a
simple and direct reference to the current unbalanced and devastated
state of the globe accompanied by the collective silence and
blindness. The project intends to collect, disseminate, and discuss
the perspectives and realities of diverse positions in multiple
formats. In this respect, the primary focus of the project is to
trace, detect and comprehend art and cultural productions which render
different cases, approaches and realities with multifaceted cultural,
political and social situations.

Conscious in Coma is designed to be a collaborative process of nine
curators: Elena Veljanovska (Macedonia), Stefan Rusu (Moldova), Nat
Muller (The Netherlands), Vera-Maria Glahn (Germany), Basak Senova
(Turkey), Jack Persekian (Palestine), Clare Davies (Egypt), Christine
Tohme (Lebanon), and Amirali Ghassemi (Iran).
