Blain southern, Berlin presents “Funktionieren’” by Nasan Tur through January 28, 2017.The installation will contain tables, shelves, carving tools, computer equipments, printing devices and racks for drying the prints. With endless reproduction of works enabled by the woodblock format, the resulting collection of text-based prints will feature Tur’s highly contentious aphorisms and philosophical statements, which have in the past included ‘Knowledge Is Dangerous’ and ‘Control Is Necessary.’ The artist, supported by a team of artisan printmakers, will be carving statements and slogans into large woodblocks, which he will then use to produce a collection of several different prints. These will be hung within the installation, increasingly filling the space. The woodblocks, prints and the studio that created them each become individual artworks as part of this self-referential exhibition.The exhibition is showcased at Potsdamer Straße 77-87, 10785 Berlin, Germany.
