Protocinema presents Hale Tenger’s installation We didn't go outside; we were always on the outside/ We didn't go inside; we were always on the inside, 1995, consisting of an old wooden guard-house surrounded by a barbed wire fence. The work, created on the occasion of the 4th Istanbul Biennial, is now exhibited for the second time here in New York with Protocinema.
Visitors are invited to enter the ‘isolation zone’ fenced in area as well as the guard-house. Inside the house is a small seat, and many printed images of the nature from around the world, an inner world of fields, waterfalls, idyllic bays. There is also a tiny transistor radio playing music from the 90’s.The radio is significant because when the work was created “it was only a year since the radio broadcast had been released from state monopoly; and the broadcast in the house is reminiscent of radio days past.” Exhibition can be visited during 14th May- 13rd June.
