Karriere and U-TURN have initiated a collaboration, hosting a number of talks and performances during the Quadrennial. Over the summer we will present a number of artists who will be in Denmark preparing for U-TURN in September.
First talk will be with the Turkish artist Köken Ergun, who has been in Denmark since April to produce his new film, TANKLOVE.
Köken Ergun will talk about how his project TANKLOVE is realised with the help of volunteers, the National Defence, a tank collector and a local environment which support the project. TANKLOVE is filmed in Jyderup, West Sealand in the beginning of July where the relaxed provincial atmosphere for a moment is interrupted by a tank and an unexpected sympathy between the the military vehicle and the citizens.
Moreover, two of the artists older films will screened.
Köken Erguns production of TANKLOVE is supportet by S.A.I.R / Sølyst Artist in Residency*
