HELIKON ART CENTER is the first international art residency of Turkey has been organising art residencies, hosting exhibitions and engaging in several art activities since 2014. It is located near Izmit city of Kocaeli province, Başiskele district in Turkey. Helikon Art Center aims to host artists from all over the world in order to exchange ideas, create artworks together, open exhibitions and organize art events.

MEDIOCRACY (Current Open Call 2024): Is it the mediocracy that caused the society-wide mediocrity, or the other way round? Hanna Arendt had already revealed and warned us about what ‘the banality of evil’ would unleash. So, what would happen when banality is itself banalized, when mediocrity itself becomes the standard mediocre? Mediocrity, will it entrench us into idiocracy or has it already done so?
In this context, they would like to invite artists to our residence in order to question above.

Outcome

Artists are obliged to leave at least one of their art work to Helikon Contemporary Art Association so artists will be provided opportunity to exhibit their works in an art gallery with that work (will be announced later on) for couple of weeks with official opening announce to public at the end of the residency. Each artist is responsible to demonstrate/present their works through open/closed studio events every evening.

There will be discussions about the main theme of the residency and other issues concerning contemporary art.

An atelier, big garden with two terraces, two tree houses, one office and one exhibition hall.
