Amerika potansiyeldir. Sokakta kendine yaratacagi performatif alanda devam etmelidir. Izleyicisi ve zaman/mekanini belirleyen sehri olmadan varolamaz. Bir olasiligi teklif eder.
Amerika bir yansitma ve bir vaattir. Oklahoma Acikhava Tiyatrosu'na davet cagrisi Kafka'nin Amerika'sinin kahramani Karl Rossmann'i donusturen andir. Umut kendi sakasini icinde barindirir. Simdi bu davet, ona Istanbul sokaklarinda denk gelen herkese acik.
"Bu etkinlik bu gece mi olacak?" Posterin isaret ettigi simdinin aciliyeti bir Bienal turistinin kacirmamasi gereken baska bir etkinlik olarak da okunabilir. Hepimiz once kendi oznelliklerimizle mesguluz.
Amerika 09/09/09'da Mesrutiyet Caddesi'nde basladi. Obur olasi mekanlari Taksim, Karakoy, Bomonti ve Besiktas civarinda. Bu poster projesi Mladen Bizumic ve Övül Durmusoglu tarafindan gerceklestiriliyor, proje asistani Yildiz Aslandogan.

America is the potential. It needs to be continued in the form of performative space on the street. The work doesn’t exist without its audience and without a city marking its time and space. It is a proposal for something to happen.
America is a projection and a promise. The call to The Nature Theatre of Oklahoma, viewed by Karl Rossmann of Kafka’s America, is his transformative moment. Hope contains its own joke. Now the invitation is open to everyone who comes across it on Istanbul streets.
“Is this happening tonight?” The urgency of now suggested by the poster may be read as another event not be missed by a Biennial tourist. We are all entangled by our individual subjectivities.
The project started on 09/09/09 from Mesrutiyet Caddesi, Taksim. Possible locations will be around Taksim, Karakoy, Bomonti and Besiktas. It is a collaboration of Mladen Bizumic and Övül Durmusoglu, assisted by Yildiz Aslandogan.
