Borusan Contemporary presented Bitter Medicine #02 by the artist duo :mentalKLINIK as a prescription for the art world pushed to make drastic changes under the circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition included the installation Puff Out, installed in the main gallery space of the Haunted Mansion, and streamed live 24/7 through Borusan Contemporary’s website and social media channels. As the Haunted Mansion was closed for visits for a while due to the public health precautions, this performative installation was on view for art viewers around the world and transformed into a virtual, choreographic video narrative using moving camera systems. Curated by Dr. Necmi Sönmez, the exhibition was streamed between September 17, 2020, and January 31, 2021 through Borusan Contemporary’s website and social media accounts as well as the exhibition was broadcasted on the screen installed in the window of Borusan Music House on Istiklal Avenue, 24/7.
