Since he became Prime Minister of Turkey in 2002, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's rule has become increasingly authoritarian, with his treatment of journalists, writers and artists causing international concern. Juliet talks to art critic Fisun Güner (https://fisunguner.com) and Tuna Erdem of the Istanbul Queer Art Collective (https://www.istanbulqueerartcollective.co.uk) about how the situation has worsened since the Occupy Gezi protests in 2013 and the failed military coup of 2016, why Erdoğan's government has targeted the art world, and how artists might fight back.

Podcast Show Notes: Episode 16 Intro: Welcome to the 16th episode of Arts Performed Podcast. I am your host Tobi. This week I am talking with Tuna and Seda of the Istanbul Queer Art Collective where they engage with the concept of success and failure and how Jack Halberstam inverts the normative concepts in his book The Queer Art of Failure. In the interview I mistakenly used Jack’s former name. Jack Halberstam is a transsexual man and academic and the edition I used to look up the theory was written in Jack’s former name. Also important to note about this episode is the bad audio. We recorded the episode in a noisy café and although I cut out the worst noise in the edit it is still very noisy. However if you are interested in performance art in Turkey and England and the fluxus movement and Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure I urge you to persist and keep listening. Also please come along to their performance night Turkish Delight, at the Glory in Dalston on the 1st of February. It is a night of bilingual performances in English and Turkish and if their own performances are anything to go by it will be an amazing night. Outro: If you persisted to the end I think you will agree Tuna and Seda are engaging and have given me lots to think about, not only in terms of my podcast and interest in art but in my life too. The inversion of success and failure are certainly something that has had an impact on me. Please remember their performance night Turkish Delight, at the Glory where they have queer performances in Turkish and English. The next episode is with Sebastian Hua-Walker who talks about live art, the Mexican Goddess The Holiest Death, and much, much more. Sebastian is included in the review of Deep Trash at the Underworld as is The Queer Art Collective from my WordPress article Deep Trash at the Underworld blokartspace.com Istanbul Queer Art Collective Please like, comment, subscribe and share from my:twitter.com/artsperformedyoutube.cominstagram.com/artsperformedartsperformed.wordpress.comfacebook.com/artsperformedartsperformedpodcast.podbean.com

Podcast Show Notes: Episode 15 Intro: Hello and welcome to the 15th episode. I am your host Tobi. This is the second part of performance artist Richard Dedomenici dedomenici.com and artistic director of 30bird.org, Mehrdad Seyf’s interview. They continue to talk about their collaboration to get Chris de Burgh on tour in Iran, and their interdisciplinary ethic. Particularly interesting is their very different art forms that complement, as they both engage in humour and the visual but in different ways. Outro: What more can I say about their work that they haven’t said already other than to remind you of their up and coming shows. Richard will be in Lancaster with his piece, An Architecture, that continues the theme of a previous work shown in a youtube video which will be on the podcast show notes here youtube.com They will both be returning with their performance/ presentation in March at the Junction, in Cambridge, along with other artists and interdisciplinary performances. Details can be found on their websites: dedomenici.com 30bird.org next weeks episode will be with Tuna and Seda from the Istanbul Queer Art Collective where they talk about the fluxus movement of the 1960s and Jack Halberstam’s the Queer Art of Failure. We also talk about their own performances in Turkey and their performance at Deep Trash at the Underworld at the Bethnal Green Working Man’s Club. They also have a performance evening coming up at the Glory in Dalston, East London on the 1st of February called Turkish Delight, which will be an evening of Turkish and English performances facebook.com/istanbulqueerartcollective/ facebook Turkish Delight event page Please like, comment, subscribe and share from my:twitter.com/artsperformedyoutubeinstagram.com/artsperformedartsperformed.wordpress.comfacebook.com/artsperformedartsperformedpodcast.podbean.com
