Silent Zones on globalisation and cultural interaction Silent Zones provides an insight into the issues surrounding globalisation, art and cultural exchange, and the role of artists in an increasingly globalised world.

Researches of the chemical nature might prove the legitimacy of the year, but they still cannot answer this question: What position do the Two Corn Growers occupy in the art history, here and there? As the auctioneer knocks his hammer, such a question becomes irrelevant. The auctioneer has nothing to do with such problems. Expensive or not expensive, that is the question.

Masist Gül (1947-2003) was an artist of Armenian origin, who was born and lived in Istanbul. Gül was a Turkish actor who played in over 300 movies, mostly obscure in which he played small roles. Because of his body-builder physique he was often cast as the villain or the brute. He was also an extraordinary artist, producing a large amount of collages, drawings and poetry which no one, except a few close friends, ever saw. Almost all his work is a reflection on his own life, speaking mostly of the hardship and loneliness he experienced. The protagonists in his work are without exception his mirror images. During the 80\'s Gül conceived and made by hand a series of 6 books with the title \"Kaldirim Destani Kaldirimlar Kurdunun Hayati\" (Pavement Myth - The Life of the Pavement\'s Wolf) using a periodical comic book format.
