| Serhat Koksal(2/5bz) 's exhibition and video installation in 9th Istanbul Bienal at Antrepo/H.Zone Salon 16 Sept.-30 Oct. 2005. Review in Frieze Art Magazine Issue 95 ; ''...The video Gegen die Bridge ( Against the Bridge ,2005 ) , by Serhat K�ksal , was the one great chance encounter in what was otherwise a confused and cobbled- together 'Hospitality Zone' in a former warehouse that Esche and Kortun had given to a group local initiatives and art schools - gesture that felt strategic rather than heartfelt . K�ksal's video - anarchic ,early 1990s' cut-up energy ..'' |

| '' ..Die jungst auf Vinyl erschienene , im vergangegen Jahr aufgenommene Session ' No Turistik No Egzotik ' entfesselt einen Drill'n Bass-Hurricane aus zerstuckelten Darbukarhythmen ,entkontextualisierten Sazfragmenten und den obligatorischen Filmsamples, die als eingeworfene Sprachfetzen zum beklemmenden Nachgeschmack der Platte beitragen .Der Titel isthier Programm . Kein Flirt mit Postkartenmotiven der Hagia Sophia ,keine Verklarung der Stadt zwischen den Kontinenten , stattdessen wird mit Tracknamen wie 'Etnik Market ,Etnik Paranoia' eben diese Post-Whatever-Identity-Verwirrung...''

| ' Keine Frage , den definitiven Anwarter auf die beeindruckendste EP 2004 liefert Serhat K�ksal aus Istanbul .Was 2/5 BZ aber unterscheidet , Istder Charme einer unbekannten Trashness und das offensichtliche Fehlen jeglier politischen Referenz.Die ist vielleicht aber doch in den Titein versteck (Etnik Market , Etnik Paranoia) oder erklart sich aus den unglaublichen Cut-Up Filmen , die live gezeigt werden ' De-Bug Magazine Jan. 2004 . |
