SANATORIUM will host the exhibition entitled “Chance and Necessity” named after Jacques Monod’s book with the same title, to be held between April 19 – May 20, 2018 and featuring works by Kerem Ozan Bayraktar and Sergen Şehitoğlu.
“Chance and Necessity” investigates variation and emergence phenomena within the context of the relationship between life and material.
In his work entitled ‘Some of the potentially uninhabitable planets’ in the exhibition, Kerem Ozan Bayraktar investigates the relationship of exoplanet illustrations encountered in the science media with the concept of the “habitable zone” in astronomy. While Bayraktar deals with this investigation in terms of being science, colonialism and imagination, the other artist in the exhibition, Sergen Şehitoğlu, tracks the Anthropocene on the morphological structure of our planet with his work entitled ‘Mojave Desert’.
The artists also present in the exhibition a collaborative animation work entitled ‘Dust Devils’ focusing on the different motions and qualities of little dust devils occurring in a desert.
