Today Could Be a Day of Historical Importance: I am retiring from everything but drawing!

Presentation by Serkan Ozkaya
Saturday April 24, 2010

Artist Serkan Ozkaya gave a twofold presentation titled Today Could Be a Day of Historical Importance: I am retiring from everything but drawing!. Ozkaya began with a slide-show presentation and description of his overall body of work, focusing on projects created from 1996 to the present. Works presented ranged from a proposal to the Louvre to display Mona Lisa upside down, to his mass-produced objects and hand-drawn newspaper reproductions. Ozkaya then discussed the relationship between tracing or copying and creating original drawings, explaining how he positions himself as an “art lover” rather than an artist.
