Patterns Istanbul: a project and a workshop by Bernardo Giorgi e Cinzia Cozzi in collaboration with Love Difference: Istanbul, 4-9 December 2006
“Patterns” is a project by Bernardo Giorgi and Cinzia Cozzi (borders project), based on the idea of overlapping and matching the body – the boundary as to the external world – to the territory. In “Patterns Istanbul” portions of the territory marked in the map of the city of Istanbul that are especially related to the inhabitants of the city by their personal experience, will be redrawn and transferred to paper patterns for the production of clothes. “Patterns Istanbul” will become a platform to activate an established network of people and places, that will constitute a creative way of relationship between the subjects and the cultural territory they are related to. The project is sponsored by Berliner Senate, with the collaboration of Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and Love Difference, the BM Contemporary Art Center, Human Settlement NGO, Platform Garanti, and with the support of Bilgi University, Goethe Institut, Istanbul Technical University, Italian Institute of Culture.
Love Difference takes part in “Patterns Istanbul” by collaborating with the authors in the project, and holding a specific workshop in Istanbul on December 4-9: a multidisciplinary group of people will take part to a collective work of exploration, analysis and representation of a portion of territory of Istanbul, in order to create a cultural map, that will support the realization of the project “Patterns Istanbul”.
