"When Ideas Become Crime"

CANAN and Nalan Yırtmaç are participating in the group show titled "When Ideas Become Crime" in DEPO. Curated by Halil Altındere, the exhibit brings together 48 Turkish artists from different generations, questioning the limits of freedom of expression. Canan takes place in the show with her new video legend "The Waqwaq Tree". The video, embracing a documentary style, begins with the story of this tree and the Janissary incident in the Ottoman times leading to the military strikes  up to  recent Turkish history. Nalan Yırtmaç, in her spray/stencil piece titled "In the name of the Destroyed Districts and the Displaced", criticizes the urban transformation projects focusing on the suburbs of Istanbul. Hüseyin Alptekin, Ramazan Bayrakoğlu, İnci Furni, Nilbar Güreş, Altan Gürman, Hakan Gürsoytrak, Gülsün Karamustafa, Ahmet Öğüt and Erinç Seymen are some of the other artists whose works will be displayed.

"When Ideas Become Crime" can be seen between September 1 - October 10, 2010.
