Conscious in Coma

http://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 (Moldavia), Nat Muller
(The Netherlands), Vera-Maria Glahn (Germany), Basak Senova (Turkey), Jack
Persekian (Palestine), Clare Davies (Egypt), Christine Tohme (Lebanon), and
Amirali Ghassemi (Iran).
