SUMMARY:About \"Warning: Risk for jamming!\" (my solo exhibition)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nImmigrant artist’s fire fueled by sign in elevator\n
 \nHürriyet Daily News & Economic Review\nISTANBUL - March 4, 2009\n\n
 Vercihan Ziflioglu\n\nHakan Akçura, a Turkish artist living in Sweden
 , has declared war against a warning sign that he saw in an elevator, 
 reinterpreting it, hanging posters on the streets of Stockholm and ope
 ning his own personal exhibition\n\nFeeling like he didn’t belong in
  Turkey, artist Hakan Akçura left his home country four years ago for
  Sweden, where he thought everything would be different. His struggles
  as an immigrant there have inspired the work in his new exhibition.\n
 \nAn artist with the Neo Fluxus movement, Akçura is a painter, a poet
 , a video artist and a performer. In order to make a living in Sweden,
  he worked along with other immigrants as a paperboy, between the hour
 s of 2 and 6 a.m. While they worked, there was an important rule the p
 aperboys had to obey: They should not make noise that would disturb th
 e residents’ sleep.\n\nRebelling against an imposition\n\nDuring thi
 s silent struggle, Akçura noticed a warning sign in the elevator of a
  building. It read \"Farligt att transportera gods i hissar som saknar
  innerdörr eller fotocell,\" meaning, \"It is dangerous to carry stuf
 f in the elevators that do not have inner doors and a photocell.\" A p
 icture next to the sign showed a man whose handcart has become stuck t
 o the elevator, leading him to be crushed to death.\n\n\"The cruelness
  of this saying and image affected me deeply,\" Akçura told the Hürr
 iyet Daily News & Economic Review. \"It was like an imposition that we
  must face every day to stick in an elevator and die.\"\n\nFor his new
  exhibition, Akçura has reinterpreted the sign to read \"Varning för
  klämrisk! Farligt att transportera själ som saknar uppriktighet ell
 er mod,\" or, \"Warning: Risk for jamming! It is dangerous to carry th
 e soul without candidness or courage.\" This saying provides the title
  of his first personal exhibition, which opened in Stockholm on Feb. 2
 7 and runs through Mar. 15. The exhibition features posters that Akçu
 ra prepared and hung on the streets of Stockholm, along with other wor
 ks. The exhibition may also be viewed at http://open-flux.blogspot.com
 \n\nAkçura’s exhibition consists of installations, photographs and 
 videos. The photographic installation, titled \"Elevators, elevators -
 or a autoportrait of the artist as anewspaper runner- 1,\" contains im
 ages from the artist’s early years in Stockholm. \"I took these phot
 ographs of my reflections in the elevator mirrors while I was working 
 at night,\" Akçura said. The videos include \"An Argument on Unemploy
 ment and the Swedish culture at the Workplace Swedish at Practice Cour
 se,\" \"Catharsis,\" \"Rush Hour,\" \"Hesa Fredrik,\" \"Why Not?\" and
  Akçura’s favorite work, \"Look, what beatiful seashells!\" This vi
 deo, which he shot in 2008, features two adults discussing world matte
 rs in children’s voices while walking down a street. [...while sitti
