Résistance(s) III, troisième volet de la collection dvd éponyme, propose une sélection de neuf films et vidéos d’artistes du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient. Intimes, poétiques ou documentaires, ces œuvres complexes, nourries de différents registres artistiques et culturels, témoignent de la vitalité et de la diversité créatives dans ces régions.
Loin de toutes concessions aux stéréotypes ambiants, les auteurs explorent des questions existentielles, politiques ou esthétiques avec le souci d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives. Leurs travaux inventent des agencements inédits pour penser le temps et l’espace, le mouvement et la mémoire, l’histoire et l’expérience individuelle, sans oublier d’interroger la place de la femme au sein de la société.
Curator: Silke Schmickl et Christine Sehnaoui.

DVD ISOLATION
ISOLATION fait partie de la collection de films d’artistes Human Frames qui se développe autour de dix états psychologiques humains : le bonheur, le désir, la folie, le fanatisme, la peur, la colère, la mélancolie, le mono no aware et l’impermanence. Ce programme présente dix œuvres asiatiques et européennes contemporaines qui analysent les contextes physiques et spatiaux de l'isolement ainsi que les conditions psychologiques et sociales qui y sont liées. Les films reflètent nos dispositions ambiguës envers l’isolement : c’est à la fois ce que l’on craint et ce à quoi l’on aspire.

Versus Art Project is pleased to host the group exhibition ‘Paris Fashion Week: The Tangibility of
Garment, Body and Power’ curated by Yekhan Pınarlıgil between October 12TH – November 18TH.
‘Paris Fashion Week: The Tangibility of Garment, Body and Power’ exhibition brings together women artists who have developed a solution against control and normalization mechanisms through clothing and body issues and participated in the Paris Art Stage from outside France and used it as a central. Using criticisms which is one of the foundations of Western culture as a weapon (or a cure), these artists create resistance to the constraints of conservative societies on the one hand while targeting the tension and sanctions of the nation-state on the other hand with the critical im- age system they build. In both contexts, artists who reveal the contradictions, weak spots, biased attitudes of patriarchal discourse open up habitats to all bodies that do not enter and refuse to enter into certain labels. Throughout ‘Paris Fashion Week: The Tangibility of Garment, Body and Power’, we will see how the bodies of the gender stereotypes, condemned by the overly controlled labels, have come out of their roots, and exist with sincerity, with laughter, lightness and courage.
‘Paris Fashion Week – The Tangibility of Garment, Body and Power’ will showcase a retrospective
runway performance by Majida Khattari, as well as the Nina Esber's very first performance in Istan-
bul which will be staged at The Maiden's Tower. Throughout the exhibition, artist talks will take
place at the Beyoglu address of KARSI Sanat Calismalari, which will entail conversations on the rela-
tionship between fabric, clothing and it's authority on the human body, the formation of human
identity and self representation through fashion.
