SEP 4–OCT 10

YENI KUNDURA, ISTANBUL

Such distortions abound in “Once Upon a Time Inconceivable.” Marking Protocinema’s ten-year anniversary, the group exhibition challenges the reliability of human perception through works by Abbas Akhavan, Hera Büyüktaşçlyan, Banu Cennetoğlu, Zeyno Pekünlü, Paul Pfeiffer, Amie Siegel, and Mario García Torres, in addition to Floyer and Mursaloğlu.
