Jeff Talks Back to Back
Salt Beyoğlu
July 24 – August 19, 2018
Jeff Talks is a public talk series organized four times a year. Invited speakers, mostly cultural practitioners, attempt to invent unfamiliar ways to approach the familiar or follow familiar steps to pursue the unfamiliar. Developed by Esen Karol and Bülent Tanju, and put into practice with the support of Johannes Buch in 2010, Jeff Talks was titled after the 12 Jeff folding chairs that fit into the only space in Karol’s studio suitable for presentations with a projector.
In the early years, the talks were carefully recorded and shared online since they were attended by a limited number of guests due to lack of space. With a growing interest over time, Jeff Talks first moved to ARK Kültür, which housed more Jeff chairs, then to Studio-X Istanbul, and eventually became a Manifold event in 2016. An individual poster was designed for each Jeff Talks; a specially baked cake, whose ingredients were chosen by the speaker, were served with pots of filter coffee at every event.
Organized by Manifold in collaboration with SALT, Jeff Talks Back to Back comprises an exhibition, five workshops, a series of presentations, two Jeff Talks, and screenings of previous talks at SALT Beyoğlu. While the posters, all printed by Ofset Yapımevi, are presented in the Forum, the recordings made available by Burak Eril during the first four years and then by Işık Kaya since December 2014 are screened in the Walk-in Cinema. Onur Ceritoğlu’s intervention engaging in the upcycle, reuse-recycle, and repair of the 12 worn-out Jeff chairs is accompanied by a poster workshop by Esen Karol, a fanzine workshop by Johannes Buch, a cake workshop by Didem Şenol, and a photography workshop by Orhan Kolukısa. In addition to the continious 7 minute-presentations by 23 poster designers, the program also includes Jeff Talks by Sevgi Arı on July 28 and Ouchhh on August 18.
Poster designs exhibited in the Forum by:
