Descripción de la pieza

The concepts of rhythm and measurement lie at the foundation of Cevdet Erek’s works and site-specific installations, which investigate the units, structures, and forms that guide our perception of space and time. In 2007, Erek produced his first ruler, which begins with the year of his birth. Since then, he has continued to make rulers to mark and interpret successive events and relationships drawn from a wide spectrum that ranges from the temporal units of day, night, week, and year, to individual and social turning points, and to historical ruptures like coups and wars.“Father’s Timeline”, one of Erek’s first works to deal with the concept of time, explores collective history through critical personal turning points. The artist first draws a line beginning from his father’s date of birth, and asks his father to indicate important dates in his life on this ruler. This timeline forms an individual history, successively aligning numerous births, deaths, occupational turning points, and translocations, while also bearing witness to the political history of Turkey.

Cevdet Erek: Bridging Sound and Space Through Architectural Rhythm

Cevdet Erek is a Turkish artist and musician whose practice seamlessly blends architectural concepts with sonic explorations, resulting in immersive site-specific installations that delve into themes of time, space, and human connection. Born in Turkey in 1974, Erek’s artistic journey began amidst the formative influences of architecture – he pursued studies at Marmara University Fine Arts Faculty while simultaneously working as an architect, grounding his creative vision in spatial understanding. This dual engagement with design and music would prove pivotal to shaping his distinctive artistic style. His musical career took root early on with the formation of Nekropsi, a band that continues to operate today, establishing Erek’s commitment to experimentation and rhythmic complexity. The band's performances are characterized by intricate arrangements and a palpable energy, mirroring the core principles underpinning Erek’s sculptural endeavors. This intersection between sound and form isn’t merely coincidental; it represents a deliberate effort to translate musical ideas into tangible architectural structures—a conceptual framework that informs his artistic process. Erek’s artistic trajectory gained international recognition through participation in prominent biennials such as Documenta 13, where his work garnered critical acclaim for its innovative approach to spatial representation and its exploration of temporal dimensions. Subsequent exhibitions at the Venice Biennale (57a International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia), Manifesta 14 Pristina, and Singapore Biennial further solidified his position within the contemporary art landscape. These engagements underscore Erek’s dedication to pushing artistic boundaries and engaging with pressing social concerns through conceptually driven projects. His sculptural works often utilize repetitive patterns and geometric forms—elements borrowed directly from architectural design—to create evocative environments that invite contemplation. The artist employs materials like concrete, steel, and wood, meticulously crafting pieces that resonate with both structural integrity and aesthetic subtlety. Erek’s installations aren't simply objects within a space; they actively reshape the perception of it, prompting viewers to consider how architecture influences our experience of time and memory.
