Cevdet Erek is an artist working specifically with sound, space and rhythm. In his Ruler series, Erek takes the traditional measuring instrument and converts it to an instrument representing time. Ruler Day Night (2011) uses the Muslim daily prayer times to mark the sequence of day and night as a repetitive and subtly changing black and white pattern. Ruler 100 Years (2011) works on two levels. The years before the Turkish Alphabet Reform in 1928 (replacing Arabic script with Latin script) are shown in Arabic and the dates coming after in Latin. It also refers to shift from the Islamic calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1926, hidden in the Arabic part of the ruler. Erek will also be presenting a new work, a recent development from his Sound Ornamentation series in which pattern based and repetitive visual ornamentation is used as a source for proposing sonic architectural ornamentation.
