Selim Turan's "Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis" exhibition at SSM

Selim Turan's "Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis" exhibition at SSM

Sabancı University's Sakıp Sabancı Museum continues to cast light on the history of modern Turkish art.

The ‘Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis’ exhibition at Sakıp Sabancı Museum presents Selim Turan's work, which was shaped by diverse experiences. Selim Turan exhibition at Sakıp Sabancı Museum.

Sabancı University's Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM), now in its 15th year, is continuing to present work by Turkish painters and cast light on Turkish art history, with the support of Sabancı Holding and in cooperation with Istanbul University. Works by the major Turkish painter and sculptor Selim Turan (1915-1994) feature in the ‘Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis’ exhibition, which opens on 30 May at the SSM.

Curated by Dr. Necmi Sönmez, ‘Selim Turan. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis’ is the first solo exhibition of the artist's work to have been held in recent years. Most of the works in the exhibition have been selected from the Selim Turan Collection, which was donated to Istanbul University by his wife, the ceramic artist Şahika Turan, in 2003.

From 1947 until his death, Selim Turan divided his time between Paris and Istanbul, and the over one hundred works in the exhibition reveal traces of inspiration from the cultural milieux of both cities. The exhibition also includes works by Hakkı Anlı, Nejad Devrim, Ferit İşcan, İlhan Koman, Mübin Orhon and Fahrelnissa Zeid; Turkish artists who lived and worked in Paris during the same period; and by Jean Bazaine, Henri Goetz, Léon Zack, Natalia Dumitresco and Alexander Istrati, who between 1947 and 1960 were major painters in the Paris art scene over the period of Selim Turan's close involvement.

The exhibition brings together examples of Selim Turan’s work over a long period that begins in 1935, when he was studying at the Academy in Istanbul, and focuses particularly on his years in Paris. As an artist who established bridges between Eastern and Western cultures in both his life and art, Selim Turan's works have been arranged and evaluated in the context of a conceptual framework defined as ‘thesis, antithesis, synthesis’.

Sabancı University's Sakıp Sabancı Museum Director Dr. Nazan Ölçer said of this latest exhibition, "Sakıp Sabancı Museum is delighted to be continuing the journey that began with Feyhaman Duran, one of the leading names in Turkish art history, with the painter and sculptor Selim Turan, whose work also casts light on a period. We are proud that Istanbul University has entrusted us with works by both artists that were donated to Istanbul University by their wives, for exhibition at our museum. Selim Turan’s most important characteristic as an artist was that his work never expressed any concern about whether his works were understood or not, and always left the last word to the viewer.

Selim Turan's work cannot be evaluated in chronological categories such as his student years, period of exploration, maturity etc, which are traditionally used in art history. Throughout his artistic life he produced figurative, realistic, abstract and symbolic forms of expression, with a constant aim of provoking questions in the mind of the viewer. So in this exhibition curated by Dr. Necmi Sönmez, we decided to present his works in the framework of ‘thesis-antithesis-synthesis’, and to allow interpretations of modern Turkish art in the post-World War II period from an unconventional standpoint, just as Turan himself did.”

Curator of the exhibition, Dr. Necmi Sönmez, commented, "Selim Turan’s 'Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis' exhibition presents over a hundred paintings, sculptures and prints by the artist, making it the broadest scoped exhibition of Turan's work ever to be held and so of particular importance. As one of the leading names in Turkish art history, Turan divided his time between Paris and Istanbul from 1947 until his death, and under the influence of the cultural milieux of both cities engaged in visual experiments that are not widely known. As well as displaying these visual experiments for the first time, the exhibition aims to inspire a debate about numerous unknown works by the artist in terms of their experimental approach."

The works by Turan in the exhibition have been arranged according to both their period and their place in the artist's conceptual quest. The headings for the different sections of the exhibition have been taken from Farid ud-Din Attar’s Mantiq ut-Tayr (Language of the Bird), a poetic work which influenced the artist: "How many leagues is this road?", "Here one shifts from one state of mind to another", "You know the door is closed. Walk and reach that door", "Someone said, 'I lost the key'" and “I joined the sea of mystery and vanished". The ‘Selim Turan. Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis’ exhibition, which includes a unique presentation of mobile sculptures made by the artist in 1980-1994, will remain open at SSM until 13 August.

XRD, an X-ray detector designed at Sabancı University, was deployed into orbit from the International Space Station

XRD, an X-ray detector designed at Sabancı University, was deployed into orbit from the International Space Station

XRD, an X-ray detector designed by a team led by Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Associate Professor Emrah Kalemci, was deployed into low-Earth orbit at 15.15 Turkish time on May 26, 2017.


Designed and developed by a team led by Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Associate Professor Emrah Kalemci at the High-Energy Astrophysics Detector Laboratory, XRD was deployed into low-Earth orbit from the International Space Station on BeEagleSat, a cube satellite developed by Professor Alim Rüstem Aslan from the ITU Faculty of Aerospace Sciences, at 15.15 Turkish time on May 26, 2017. 

XRD was designed in the High-Energy Astrophysics Detector Laboratory of Sabancı University. The circuit design, software and testing of XRD were completed at the Istanbul Technical University Aerospace Systems Design and Testing Lab (USTTL), where the BeEagleSat host satellite was also produced. The production of XRD was undertaken mostly by undergraduate and gradaute students (Erdem Baş, Deniz Aksulu, Şevket Uludağ, Eray Akyol, Ertan Ümit), Associate Professor Emrah Kalemci, and Associate Professor Ayhan Bozkurt from Sabancı University. The effort was completed as a Sabancı University Internal Project with TÜBİTAK 1001 funding.  

XRD WILL TRANSMIT DATA TO EARTH


XRD is an X-ray detector placed on an electronic circuit 10 x 10 cm in size, and will be used to measure high-energy X-ray backgrounds at various orbital heights. The system will operate for 30 minutes every other day and transmit captured data to Earth.

About BeEagleSat

BeEagleSat is a cube satellite that is 10 x 10 x 20 cm in size and hosts XRD.  The device was developed as part of the European Union 7th Framework Program. The project extends to 36 cube satellites that will perform a variety of scientific measurements in low thermosphere.

The cube satellite project was conducted by undergraduate and graduate students under the leadership of implementer Professor Rüstem Aslan from Istanbul Technical University. The main partner of the school was Turkish Air Force Academy/HUTEN, and supporting partners were Sabancı University, Havelsan A.Ş., Gümüsh and Ertek.

FIRST SIGNALS RECEIVED

The BeEagleSat project commenced in 2012 and was completed in 2016. It was delivered to a center in the Netherlands along with HAVELSAT, made at ITU USTTL, and other QB50 satellites. On April 18, 2017, the device was successfully launched on the ATLAS 5 rocket carrying the Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo vessel, and reached the ISS. Finally, the cube satellite was deployed into low-Earth orbit at 408 km on May 26, 2017 at 15.15 Turkish time by a cube satellite deployer made by NanoRacks. BeEagleSat powered up 5 hours after deployment and successfully transmitted its first signal. Once preparation tests are complete, the satellite will start transmitting data to the ground station located at ITU.

The perfect harmony of science and art

The perfect harmony of science and art

Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) and Akıneri Musical Instruments used graphene in a musical instrument for the first time in the world. A clarinet reinforced with graphene made by the Sabancı University affiliate NANOGRAFEN was introduced at an event held on the Sabancı University campus on Wednesday, May 24, 2017.

After introductory remarks by Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Dean Professor Yusuf Menceloğlu, SUNUM Director Dr. Volkan Özgüz, SUNUM Researcher Assistant Professor Burcu Saner Okan and Akıneri Musical Instruments founder Aydan Akıneri spoke about the instrument. The event concluded with a clarinet recital by Serkan Çağrı.

SCIENCE MEETS ART

Introductory remarks of the event were delivered by Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Dean Professor Yusuf Menceloğlu. Menceloğlu said that the world's first graphene-reinforced musical instrument could be called the perfect harmony of science and art. Yusuf Menceloğlu said that the project was an excellent example of how materials science is adapted and engineered to the needs of musical technology.

AMONG THE PIONEERS OF THE GLOBAL GRAPHENE MARKET

Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM) Researcher Assistant Professor Burcu Saner Okan stated that graphene was the prodigal nanomaterial of the 21st century. Saying that Manchester University professors Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010 for their work on graphene, Burcu Saner Okan explained that graphene offered exceptional electronic, mechanical and thermal properties due to its nano structure. Okan said that while the market for graphene-reinforced products was limited to a few products such as helmets, tennis rackets and touch-screens so far, the clarinet they developed was among the firsts. Burcu Saner Okan explained the advantages of using graphene in a clarinet: “The greatest improvement graphene brings to the clarinet is better transmission of sound. It takes much less effort to produce a notably better sound. Graphene extends the life of the instrument up to 10 years and prevents corrosion over time. While a conventional clarinet develops mildew due to the breath of the player, graphene is immune to it."       

Akıneri Musical Instruments founder Aydan Akıneri said that after experimenting with carbon fiber, they decided to use graphene to make the clarinet even stronger. Akıneri said that they had noticed Sabancı University's research on graphene and contacted the university to discuss collaboration opportunities, continuing: "We achieved excellent results within just two months and finalized the product." Akıneri concluded that their collaboration with Sabancı University would continue for similar applications in other instruments. 

The event ended with a short recital by clarinet player Serkan Çağrı. Serkan Çağrı said that there were sensory and structural differences between graphene-reinforced and conventional clarinets. “Both players and listeners note that the graphene-reinforced clarinet produces a brighter note while the sound of a conventional wooden clarinet is more muted. I enjoyed the vibrant tonality that the instrument had. Moreover, the instrument is stronger and less susceptible to cracking, which are obvious benefits for clarinet players. Having a clarinet crack just when you were getting used to it is a common problem musicians have. The graphene-reinforced clarinet prevents that from happening. I would like to thank both institutions for their efforts." 

The World at My Fingertips” won second prize

The World at My Fingertips” won second prize

The World at My Fingertips, a social innovation project by Sabancı University students, came second in the Social Category of the Dream and Well Make it Come True” competition among 2080 submissions in 6 categories by 1458 students from 156 universities in Turkey.


Umur Kurtuluş, Altuğ Ceceli and İpek Köse, three students of the social innovation and entrepreneurship course given by Sabancı University Entrepreneurship Council Director and School of Management faculty member Dilek Çetindamar won second prize in the Social Category of the “Dream and We’ll Make it Come True” competition held by the Credit Registration Bureau.

Our students received their prizes at a ceremony held on Wednesday, April 26, 2017.

The name of their project is “The World at My Fingertips.” The project aims to help sight-impaired people visualize the best-known landmarks and artistic works of the world. A team of volunteers will choose the landmarks to appear in the exhibition. Reliefs of these landmarks will be created, along with relevant information in Braille. Visitors will be able to explore these landmarks by tracing them with their fingertips, and receive more information about their history and significance. The exhibition will tour different cities to reach more visitors.
