“Hearing Yesterday/Gestern Hören”

(6 February-9 March 1996)

In Demming’s first solo exhibition a site-specific installation has been exhibited.

Catalog: Necmi Sönmez’s text.

Articles about the exhibition:

• Necmi Sönmez, “Maçka’nın Sesini Galeriye Taşıyor”, Cumhuriyet newspaper, 9 February 1996.

“It was 1996. I worked directly with the space, I put new joint tapes on the joints of the tiles in the room at the entrance of the gallery. I went out between 5-6 o'clock and collected the sounds of the street; It was Ramadan. I marked each tile in the back room with a number. I've rebegun at least 10 times. Even though I finished my work only half an hour ago before the opening, Rabia Çapa was extremely patient and confident. This is a rare trait for a gallerist to have.”
