Osman Productions: a summer breeze


This Sat....long awaited O.P party Citizen

OSMAN PRODUCTIONS ilk adımlarını 2000’li yıllarda, uzun ve ince yollarda atmaya başladı… Yürüdükçe büyüdü, çeşitlendi, kalabalıklaştı.

Osman, aslında bir isim ve OSMAN PRODUCTIONS için de bir takma isim. Fakat öyle ki sokaktaki boyacıdan, meclisteki milletvekiline kadar her yerde duyulabilen, rastlanabilen bir isim… Tam burada OSMAN bir duruma da karşılık geliyor. Takma isim olmaktan çok her yere sızabilen, her yerde olabilen bir gülünç beceriksizlik, şaşkın ve dehşet içinde ama serin bakışlarla tanığı olduğu sahnelerin içinde süzülen bir hayali kimlik gibi…

Osman ismine rastlanabilen anların çeşitliliği gibi OSMAN PRODUCTIONS da ana akımdan, alt kültürden, aralardan ve derelerden geçen, hayallerden, gerçeklerden, müzikten ve her türlü imgeden, sokak sanatı, iğne oyası, tığ işi gibi pek çok çeşitte alandan beslenen ve tüm bu alanlarda etkin üretimine devam eden, herkesi de üretime ve devam etmeye teşvik eden bir oluşum.

icat – OSMAN – 9lives – human eye/cat pupil – in Belgrade, Serbia

 A tribute to the library!

William Shakespeare refers to the nine lives myth in his play Romeo and Juliet. There is also an ancient proverb that claims, “A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays and for the last three he stays."

Some people believe the nine lives myth is related to cats’ ability to always land on their feet. Cats are also known for their dexterity and agility.
Over time, people witnessed cats survive in situations that surely would have severely injured other animals. Some people likely began to believe that cats must have multiple lives.

In ancient Egypt, cats were sacred animals that were worshipped as gods. Ancient Egyptians believed that cats were divine creatures with psychic or supernatural powers. The idea that they could have multiple lives fit right in with their view of cats.

But why nine lives? No one knows the answer to that one either. There are many possibilities.

For example, the ancient Egyptian sun god, Atum-Ra, was believed to take the form of a cat on visits to the underworld.Legend has it that Atum-Ra gave birth to eight other gods and thus represented nine lives in one.
Others believe the number may have come from China, where the number nine is considered lucky. The number nine — sometimes called “the trinity of trinities” — is also believed to be mystical in many religions and regions around the world.

Ari Alpert @dev9t festival in Serbia, Belgrade

Been invited to Dev9t art festival in Belgrade to do a new meaty mural and give printmaking workshop class...anyone in Serbia? See ya there this week!



 



https://www.facebook.com/events/1230533060415627/



Dev9t is Belgrade’s most authentic, most creative, most beautiful, most inspiring festival ever.

DEV9T’s concept is to fight for the survival of culture, because culture is inherently inhabited by all living beings. If culture is not preserved, we will become an endangered species, deprived of our existence’s meaning. Thus, this festival is a place where artists will be totally free to express themselves and to be creative at their own discretion. This way, DEV9T will turn from an artistic colony into a leading networking platform for artists, event managers, the audience and commercial sponsors, and that’s the festival’s goal. The Dev9t festival lasts nine days and therefore it got the name devet – because this means number nine in Serbian. And it takes place at Ciglana.There is a huge, breathtaking gallery, where over 1000 artists are presenting their work. The philosophy of Dev9t is to keep on creating.You will also have the chance to watch various artists painting huge murals or to take part in 40 different very interesting and creative workshops.

Anthony Bourdain passed away at 61 :((((



New York (CNN)Anthony Bourdain, the chef and gifted storyteller who took TV viewers around the world to explore culture, cuisine and the human condition for nearly two decades, has died. He was 61.



CNN confirmed Bourdain's death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide.

Bourdain was in France working on an upcoming episode of his award-winning CNN series, "Parts Unknown." His close friend Eric Ripert, the French chef, found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room Friday morning.

"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," the network said in a statement Friday morning. "His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller.


"His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time."


"Tony was an exceptional talent," CNN President Jeff Zucker said in an email to employees. "Tony will be greatly missed not only for his work but also for the passion with which he did it."

Fans, fellow chefs, celebrities and friends reacted with stunned sorrow.

"My heart breaks for Tony Bourdain," CNN's chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour wrote on Twitter. "May he rest in peace now.

"He was a friend, a collaborator, and family. A huge personality, a giant talent, a unique voice, and deeply, deeply human. My heart goes out to his daughter and family, and his longtime partners and friends at (production company) ZPZ."
Author and humorist John Hodgman recalled eating with Bourdain some 14 years ago.

"He was big even then, but he took time to sit with me in Chinatown to talk 'weird' food for a magazine piece I was writing. He taught me that our 'weird' is the world's delicious," Hodgman wrote on Twitter. "We ate chicken feet. The afternoon vibrated with life. RIP."

























Anthony Bourdain, the chef, writer, and Emmy-winning television personality, died Friday morning of an apparent suicide at the age of 61. His death was confirmed to CNN, which reported that the Parts Unknown host was in Strasbourg, France, filming an episode of the series when chef Eric Ripert, a longtime friend of Bourdain’s, found him unresponsive in his hotel room.

"It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain," CNN said in statement Friday morning. “His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time."

Bourdain worked in the dregs of the New York City restaurant scene for years before eventually becoming the executive chef at the French bistro Brasserie Les Halles. His experience in the industry led to the 2000 book Kitchen Confidential, in which he offered an unapologetic, 360-degree view of the American dining experience. Bourdain described what takes place behind the scenes in brutal, often hilarious detail, changing the way restaurant-goers considered everything from their appreciation of oysters to the best day of the week to order meat. The book became a bestseller and launched what turned into a prolific career as a television host.

After a two-year stint hosting A Cook's Tour on the Food Network, Bourdain began hosting No Reservations on the Travel Channel in 2005. The show saw Bourdain travel to both major metropolitan areas and far-flung locales around the globe, where he sampled local cuisine and provided insight into the relationship between food and culture. The show ran for nine seasons and won two Emmys. After leaving the Travel Channel in 2012, Bourdain began hosting CNN's Parts Unknown in 2013. A year later, he won a Peabody Award. The show, which was in the middle of its 11th season at the time of Bourdain's death, featured the chef traveling the world while offering his perspective on the food, culture and politics. In a 2017 episode, he shared a $6 meal of noodles with President Obama in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Bourdain was a titan of popular food culture, and even as his celebrity grew, he retained the rebellious, disaffected persona first projected in Kitchen Confidential. In addition to the book that launched his career, Bourdain authored several cookbooks, essay collections and works of fiction to complement his work onscreen. He was a ubiquitous presence on various food programs, always serving as the definitive authority on whatever issue – or dish – was brought to the table. As America's interest in food culture grew, and along with it a wave of celebrity chefs, none were as thoroughly respected both inside and outside of the industry as Bourdain.

In the months preceding his death, Bourdain became a vocal advocate of the #MeToo movement after his girlfriend, the Italian actress Asia Argento, came forward as a victim of Harvey Weinstein. Through his Twitter account and other media appearances, Bourdain called out critics of the movement and the prominent men accused of sexual misconduct, including fellow celebrity chef Mario Batali. "I came out of a brutal, oppressive business that was historically unfriendly to women," Bourdain said on The Daily Show in January. "I knew a lot of women, it turned out, who had stories about their experiences – about people I knew – who

did not feel I was the sort of person they could confide in."

İbiza’da Sessizce Sözünü Söyleyen Bir Mural: Et -A Mural That Quietly Speaks in Ibiza: MEAT • Bigumigu



A Mural That Quietly Speaks in Ibiza: Et • Bigumig


Playa d'en Bossa is recognized as as a Spanish resort with Ibiza's longest sandy beach . 2.7 km long sandy beach; great hotel complexes, restaurants, shops and cottage houses all over the world. While the population is overwhelming in the region, the residents of the region are preparing for this tourist attraction. Ari Alpert is using the OSMAN nickname in his work on mural – his last weekend was one of the artists invited to make the city mural under the Bossa Collective's city beautification project

Are we heaps of flesh flowing into holiday centers?


Ibiza is an island that is virtually dominated by mass tourism. If you need to parenthesize the results of mass tourism, I recommend that you take a look at the story of the sea lantern crustacean and the environmental agreement Palau Pledge signed with tourists entering the country . It's still under the occupation of tourists, not world travelers. Here comes Ibiza and these are my dreams as a holiday. There is a giant sector that embraces millions of people who are working to make a holiday in the Sen. There are millions of people who have flowed into "tourist" branded zones. In all this thought flow, you can see how much the Ari Alpert's mural called "Meat" in Playa d'en Bossa is suitable for binding. This 12-foot figure, putting his foot in the chopping machine, quietly talks to a region where everybody is looking for fun: we are mortal. Maybe we died while we were alive, but we do not know what we are doing to feel what we are doing, we are blowing from there to there, haydi hands up! Born in 1975, New York Ari Alpert studied fine arts in Boston. He has worked as a campaign manager for the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Opera, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Huntington Theater Company and many nonprofit art organizations. Having moved to Istanbul in 2000, Ari has lived for a while under the pressure of DJs and silk screen T-shirts and then found himself in the commercial sector. There is a life story that you will really enjoy from a long long reading and you can review the here more. You can also follow Ari's Instagram and via Facebook .

İbiza’da Sessizce Sözünü Söyleyen Bir Mural: Et


İbiza'dan davet alan Ari Alpert, adanın temel sorunlarından birine dokunarak Et isimli eserini adaya armağan etti.




Playa d’en Bossa, bir İspanyol adası olan İbiza’nın en uzun kumsala sahip tatil beldesi olarak tanınıyor. 2,7 km uzunluğundaki kumsal; büyük otel kompleksleri, restoranlar, mağazalar ve yazlık evlerle yazın tüm dünyanın gözdesi. Bölgede nüfus yazın katlanırken elbette bölge sakinleri de bu turistik akına yönelik bir takım hazırlıklar yapıyor. Ari Alpert -mural çalışmalarında OSMAN takma adını kullanıyor- geçtiğimiz hafta sonu adaya, Bossa Collective’in şehir güzelleştirme projesi kapsamında muralyapmak üzere davet edilen sanatçılardan biri oldu.

Tatil merkezlerine akan et yığınları mıyız?


İbiza adeta tatille özdeşleşmiş, tamamen kitle turizminin hakimiyeti altında olan bir ada. Kitle turizminin sonuçları hakkında bir parantez açmak gerekirse, deniz feneri kabuklu yengecin hikayesine ve Palau Pledge’in ülkeye giren turistlere imzalattığı çevre anlaşmasına şöyle bir göz atmanızı tavsiye ederim. Dünya gezginlerin değil de turistlerin işgali altında hâlâ. İşte İbiza ve tatil denince benim aklıma bunlar geliyor. Senede bir gün tatil yapmak için çalışan milyonlarca insana kucak açan dev bir sektör var ortada. “Turistik” marka olmuş bölgelere akan milyonlarca insan var. Tüm bu düşünce akışı içinde Ari Alpert’in Playa d’en Bossa’da yaptığı “Et” adlı muralın ne kadar da bağlama uygun olduğunu görebiliyorsunuz. Ayağını kıyma makinesine sokan bu 12 metrelik figür, herkesin eğlencenin peşinde olduğu bir bölgede sessizce sözünü söylüyor: Bizler birer ölümlüyüz. Belki de biz yaşarken öldük ama yaşadığımızı hissetmek için ne yaptığımızı bilmeden oradan oraya savruluyoruz, haydi eller havaya! 1975, New York doğumlu Ari Alpert, Boston’da güzel sanatlar eğitimi almış. Eğitimiyle birlikte New York Filarmoni, Boston Operası, Indianapolis Senfoni Orkestrası, Huntington Tiyatro Topluluğu ve kâr amacı gütmeyen pek çok sanat kuruluşu için kampanya yöneticisi olarak çalışmış. 2000 yılında İstanbul’a taşınan Ari, bir süre dj’lik ve serigrafi tişört baskıları yaparak geçimini sağlamış ve ardından kendini reklam sektöründe bulmuş. Gerçekten uzun uzun okumaktan keyif alacağınız bir yaşam öyküsü var ve buradan devamını inceleyebilirsiniz. Ari’yi Instagram ve Facebook üzerinden de takip edebilirsiniz

Linol Baskı Atölyesi - Linoleum Printing Workshop - Ari Alpert

Fransızca’daki “gravure” sözcüğünden dilimize geçen ve matbaacılıkta da kullanılan bir teknik olarak gravür, sanatsal anlamda kazıma resim sanatını ifade eder ve “oyma baskı” olarak da adlandırılır.

Linolyum; beziryağı, doğal reçine, mantar tozu, talaş, kalker ile sıvanmış, kendir dokumasından yapılan bir çeşit taban malzemesididr. Linol baskı tekniğinde, seçilen görsel materyal kesme bıçağı yardımıyla linol üzerine oyulur ve ardından matbaa mürekkebi ve merdaneler aracılığı ile boyanır. Baskı işlemi sırasında oyulan yerler değil, yüksek kısımlar kağıda geçer. Bu anlamda, oyma işlemini kağıda geçmesini istediğimiz görselin negatifini esas alarak yapmak gerekir.

Linol baskı için gereken malzemeler her katılımcı için hazırlanmış olacaktır;

- Bir adet 10.5x15 cm boyutunda kesilmiş linolyum tabaka
- Linolyum kesme bıçağı (satın alma olasılığı)
- Üzerine baskı yapılacak kağıt
- Baskı işlemi sırasında kullanılacak tahta kaşık
- Mürekkep

Katılımcılar atölyede seçecekleri hazır görselleri ya da marker kalem ile doğrudan linolyum üzerine çizecekleri deseni çalışabilirler.

Atölyemizde, basılacak görselin seçimi ve hazırlanması ile ilgili kısa bilgilendirmenin ardından, gravür sanatçısı Ari Alpert eşliğinde baskıya dair tüm süreç ve uygulamaları deneyimleyecek olan katılımcılarımız, kendileri ya da sevdiklerine hediye etmek için küçük ve edisyonlu birer seri üretme şansı yakalayacaklar ve hazırladıkları baskıları kağıt haricinde kendi getirecekleri bez çanta ve tshirt üzerine uygulayabilecekler.

14 nisan, Cumartesi günü saat: 14:00 - 17:00
Kontenjan 20 kişi ile sınırlıdır.
Katılım ücreti: 60 TL

Rezervasyon ve iletişim için: info@mama-istanbul.net
