UNCOVERED is a three-year research-based art and media project under the
curatorship of Basak Senova and Pavlina Paraskevaidou. Three terms – “memory
construction,” “commons,” and “control mechanisms” – form the conceptual
springboard for the project. The development team consists of Argyro
Toumazou, Özgül Ezgin, Vicky Pericleous and the curators. The partners of
UNCOVERED are European-Mediterranean Art Association, The Pharos Arts
Foundation, and Anadolu Kultur.
 
UNCOVERED. Nicosia International Airport. Book 1 documents the first phase
of the project that culminated with an exhibition in September 2011, in
Nicosia of the eight commissioned works by Andreas Savva Constantinos
Taliotis, Demetris Taliotis, Görkem Müniroğlu, Gürgenç Korkmazel, Emre
Yazgın, Erhan Öze, Socratis Socratous, Orestis Lambrou, Oya Silbery, Özge
Ertanın, Vicky Pericleous, and Zehra Sonya. The book includes a number of
essays on the themes of “memory”, “commons”, and “control mechanisms” that
were explored in the exhibition, as well as a section devoted to the eight
projects. The publication also introduces the archive that has been
initiated as part of the research and concludes with the contributions of
the speakers made during the panel discussion following the opening of the
exhibition.
