:mentalKLİNİK 2008 and 2009 productions: TagCloud
:mentalKLİNİK, yasemin baydar, birol demir
:mentalKLİNİK opens to pursuit unobscured what it surveys by tagging its concept of frozen time, its way of appending to time, its relationship to art, its perspective and idea of production with tags like dismembering, blurred, fragment, source, arman, chaos, curve, joseph beuys, ad hoc, cloud, nonlinear, explosion, virtual, open source, dust, merzbau, liquid, turbulence, particle, nebula, immaterial, ma, light, carefree, accident.
:mentalKLİNİK fictionalizes an occupied time and place at its location in a designated timeframe, on purpose that this requires the spectator’s active engagement, in order to generate a direction of flow, create tension, change the movement’s direction, deposit residue and generate a blur using its right to change, remove and add.
Nothing can exist that is not tagged today. Tags are present both on products, in our memory and in the relationships we establish. With the works of ‘augmented reality’ human beings are being drifted from the material world further and further into a cloudlike zone.
:mentalKLİNİK attempts to challenge the threshold of the cloud like world born of the tag’s reinforced autonomy, by the constructed reality of the work as tag. The 21st century fragments confronted in the present day and which we have difficulty giving meaning and name to, the topics, concepts and circumstances of a world without materials, are handled by the intermediation of the works identified as interface in the relationship to the material world, while :mentalKLİNİK’s point of view destroys and reestablishes the relationship to place, time and spectator.
‘Tagcloud’ transforming the gallery into a workshop, the exhibition space into a construction site is open till the end of 2008. :mentalKLİNİK develops a ‘source’ for the future with works that are replaced at times and that shift place and presentation.
