Hakan AkcuraPainter, poet, video maker and video performer, photographer and designerhttp://open-flux.blogspot.com/ "I am an open flux artist. The following attributes that are the target of my creations are the things, I believe, all the contemporary artists who can't refrain from creating with concern and responsibility should have: To witness “the essence of time” (zeitgeist) once again, that is to be more adverse and radical on this earth that is going down the drains; to heed the sharing and wide circulation of their creations instead of their ownership problems. To be independent. Along with being an artist who shows the way, opens the minds and redefines new problems, being an artist who also can be open to all kinds of interaction and communication, and being a playmaker when necessary. To try to create and furthermore try to protect the existence of courage, originality and composition without falling into the swamp of elitism and populism."Selected exhibitions, activities:2010: Ankara International Film Festival, "Video:Spaces of Memory", Ankara / Direct Channell, Çanakkale / !F Istanbul Film Festival 2010 online program: See it yourself (This village) / HEP Screening, AFA Beijing, China / Tornavideo, Tamirhane, Ankara2009: Meeting Europe - Istanbul, Wacken Exhibition Centre, Strasbourg, France / HEP Screening, AFA @ Portuguese Bookshop Gallery, Macau, China / "Dirty Story", group exhb., BM Suma, Istanbul / HEP Screening, Caldas-da-Rainha / HEP Screening, Berlin / "Thistler of Sazak", art performance, Karaburun, Turkey / "Istanbul-Off-Spaces" co-exhb., Kunstraum Kreuzberg - Bethanien, Berlin / "Interzone:Nation", Gallery Galzenica, Zagreb / HEP Screening, Spain / HEP screening, Australia / "Warning for risk for jamming", solo exhb., Tegen 2, Stockholm / Ankara Int.

Julfriden får vänta en aning. Först ska hatets dag hållas. Den 10 december kommer högerextremister från hela Norden att bussas in till Mynttorget i Gamla Stan. Mitt under Nobelfesten ska Svenskarnas parti, Nationaldemokraterna och Förbundet Nationell Ungdom samlas utanför riksdagen för en ”manifestation mot svenskfientligheten”. Med SD invalda i riksdagen har gatunazisterna fått råg i ryggen. Salemmarschen har hållits undangömd i en kranskommun utanför Stockholm i tio år. Nu ska marschen polit...

Since the province began promoting tourism, sea gypsy villagers have been repeatedly threatened by hotel or resort owners who attempt to prohibit...

Everything is possible.” (From Turkey's Press, 2011-05-20) PKK önderi Abdullah Öcalan Başbakan Recep...
