After Warsaw and Tehran, art collective Slavs and Tatars' \"Mouth to Mouth\" will be on show at Istanbul's SALT Galata until 10 p.m. tonight. <\/p>\n
Taking place across three floors of the building, the exhibition will offer a tour in English earlier in the evening at 6 p.m. <\/p>\n
\"Mouth to Mouth\" is Berlin-based collective Slavs and Tatars' first mid-career survey. It brings together the collective's works addressing cultural translation, shared linguistic heritage, and mysticism in contemporary societies. <\/p>\n
Slavs and Tatars will have a lecture-performance titled \"Al-Isnad or Chains We Can Believe In,\" where they trace complex genealogies of cultural slippages, religious traditions, and linguistic affinities. In Al-Isnad or Chains We Can Believe In, the Berlin-based collective invites the audience to look beyond the world order shaped by what priest and translator Charles de Foucauld called \"secular rage.\" <\/p>\n
A Franco-American oil dynasty in Houston, the Catholic Renewal, a Sufi mosque in Manhattan, and the Russian literary avantgarde all figure in the Slavs and Tatars' dense narrative around modernity, mysticism and the rise of site-specific art in the United States. Unexpected connections among them suggest that an alternative understanding of modernism is possible - one that can overthrow established institutional accounts and dare to operate beyond the framework of rationalism. The program will be held in English. <\/p>\n
