The New Normal (3rd Iteration in Tourinnes-la-Grosse)
A project co-organized with Hiba Farhat
As seemingly distant and unlike things are remarkably linked into one another, the new rapidly evolves resembling the familiar as the familiar seems more and more ambiguous. What is most normal is also most strange and horrific. Although these propositions may appear mutually exclusive, in fact they might as well be mutually constitutive.
In response to the current social order that has implanted itself through recent global events into the new normal reality – the participants in the exhibition will critically investigate, document, identify, etc. what is the abnormal that has become commonplace. The New Normal invited contributions from around 200 international artists, composers, filmmakers, choreographers, writers, scholars, thinkers and individuals from a variety of other disciplines to each create a one-page paper document, which will be on view during the exhibitions.
Through drawings, sketches, notes, text, manifestos, scripts, recipes, maps, scores among other formats, this show proposes a revision and re-imagining of some of the narratives of the everyday, from an environmental, economic, social and creative perspective.

Cum-Ex
An exhibition curated with Kunsthalle Freeport
Object Execution. Drops of high density push through the pores to the skin‘s surface. All that is solid melts into air while the will to exhaustion covers the epidermis with sheer webs of crystal salt. Don’t worry my dear. Supplies will be provided. We had to make room for the dripping dividends. Entanglement as climax. The bodycare looks after the molded alloys and the cracked interstices. It glues the gearbox with glandular secretion and luscious wax. Relationships enclosed in draped honeycombs. Stockpile, skim, apply, lubricate. Persisting against the strain-direction. We inscribe ourselves into the manufactured webbings, in which the things resonate, exhaust, expose themselves in real time. Boundary objects, soaked and semipermeable. The batch spits out eddy currents, steady structures against the torpor.

My artistic research project “The Self in Camouflage: Altered States of Corporeality” will develop a novel conception of “camouflage” as a field of research and choreographic inquiry. Beyond the idea of animal or insect mimicry, I will rethink camouflage as a spatial act, a process through which the self is negotiated in and through space and which – like choreography – involves a transformation of the embodied self in relation to an environment.

Through a set of performative exercises, participants will move into their senses by practicing grounding, self-observation and attention to one’s surroundings.

Compiled a reader for E-Flux titled Corporeality (image by Renee Gladman):
Now that social distancing has transcended the metaphorical and has become a corpo-reality, we are inevitably getting accustomed to new constellations of bodies and spaces. How space is occupied in this epidemic—both individually and collectively—demands taking a closer look at the body and its field of movement. What are today’s choreographies of solidarity and care? What kind of future can we imagine for other ways of being physically together in this world? This reader might aid in rethinking a renewed corporeality via new systems of interactions and spatiality.

Trans-ID exhibition with the Goethe Institut Turkey.

Compiled a reader for E-Flux titled Corporeality (image by Renee Gladman):
Now that social distancing has transcended the metaphorical and has become a corpo-reality, we are inevitably getting accustomed to new constellations of bodies and spaces. How space is occupied in this epidemic—both individually and collectively—demands taking a closer look at the body and its field of movement. What are today’s choreographies of solidarity and care? What kind of future can we imagine for other ways of being physically together in this world? This reader might aid in rethinking a renewed corporeality via new systems of interactions and spatiality.

Article in German local newspaper written by Andrea Pauly about my practice and upcoming one-year studio grant in Istanbul.
Murat Adash is an artist and researcher working across live performance, moving image, sound, installation and writing. Through a performance- and movement-based practice, Murat creates choreographies in a range of media that seek to explore the ephemeral nature of physical boundaries – particularly regarding the dynamic edges between bodies and the spaces in which they come together. Beyond the idea of animal or insect mimicry, Murat has been developing a performative research body that rethinks the phenomenon of camouflage as a spatial act, a process through which the self is negotiated in and through space – processes that are intrinsic to choreography as well.
