2024B2412084Arter Yayincilik 2024. New. n/a n/a The publication which also draws on the display of the installation as part of the group exhibition Precaution 03/06/202120/02/2022 curated by Emre Baykal at Arter features a comprehensive interpretive text written by Erdem Ceylan. In her installation Loss Tolon gives another chance to her works that were damaged during the San Francisco Bay Area earthquake of 1989 suffered from shipping accidents due to improper packaging or were affected by inadequate storage conditions which render them worthless in terms of their market and exhibition value. Adopting an experimental approach Ceylan explores Tolons work in the form of an Ancient Greek tragedy by damaging and transforming the set of literary conventions peculiar to this form through a postmodern technique. Proceeding with the dialogues of two characters Hephaistos and Daidalos who were locked in Arter overnight because the closing time of the exhibitions had passed but turned this state into an occasion to start a discussion on art and life the book provides a context that can convey the love-hate relationship between the artistic ego seeking permanence and immortality and the alter ego which is at peace with life.

1699ABC_47411Jaffanapatnam Ceylon 1699. Folded and kept together by an orange white and blue piece of string in the left margin 1.5 cm from the edge of the leaves in the middle. Folio 33 x 21 cm. The Dutch letter is written in a neat late 17th-century cursive hand in brown ink. Contemporary copy Copia perhaps by Schenkenberg himself or by his secretary including the address on the first leaf: Rotterdam./ Aenden Edelen Heer./ Harmen van Zoelen/ oud burgermeester der stadt/ en Bewinthebber vande Oostindische/ Comp. ter Camer Aldaar.Very interesting letter by the Director commandeur of the fort and Dutch East India Company VOC station Jaffanapatnam on the northern-most coast of Ceylon now: Sri Lanka facing the Coromandel coast of India. The fort was captured from the Portuguese by Rycklof van Goens in the 1630s and was an important stronghold for the VOC presence on Ceylon during the late 17th and 18th centuries. The letter offers clear insight in the VOC policy regarding appointments nominations and commissions as well as for the required qualifications and salaries for the various functions. The letter also shows how important family ties recommendations and even favouritism and nepotism were in these matters.Matthaeus Schenkenberg was born in Batavia in 1667 as son of Hendrik Schenkenberg and Henrietta Chasteleyn. He writes that after having been chief-merchant opperkoopman for eight years he had been appointed by the high command at Batavia the hooge regeering director commandeur of the fort Jaffanapatnam Jaffna in June 1698 as the successor of Hendrik Swaardecroon with a monthly salary of 120 guilders for five years. Hardly a year after this appointment he is already dissatisfied - one of his predecessors Floris Blom who was director from 1669-1693 earned 150 guilders - and he is seeking for a following step in his career. Thats why he is writing this letter to his uncle Harmen van Zoelen or Soelen; ca. 1635-1702 hoping to be helped into a better job: a good move because Van Zoelen was one of the directors of the VOC chamber in Rotterdam and burgomaster of that city.Which is why he asks his uncle to put in a good word for him in order to obtain an appointment as for instance Governor of places like Macassar Celebes Ambon or Banda island between Sumatra and Malacca. Indeed Mattheus Schenkenberg was appointed Governor of Banda where he ultimately died on 14 June 1709 his tomb is still in existence.With faint folding lines and some pencil annotations on the first and last pages small wormholes in the left inner margins of the leaves very slightly affecting the text but not its legibility the edges are very slightly frayed and the last page is slightly browned.
