*   ' Off all the music I heard in Turkey , I liked
2/5 BZ best ' John Peel  BBC World Service 1994

*   ' ..and that track is from one of my favourites
sessions of the recent past, from 2/5 BZ from
Istanbul. No Turistik No Egzotik it is called...' John
Peel BBC Radio 1 2004

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

* '...Die jüngst auf Vinyl erschienene , im
vergangenen Jahr aufgenommene Session '' No Turistik
No Egzotik '' entfesselt einen Drill'n Bass-Hurricane
aus zerstückelten 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...'
Skug Magazine 2004

* '' ... Istanbul sound and visual artist 2/5 BZ 's
piece  ' No Touristik No Egzotik ' is  a swirling flow
of haunting .... ''  The Wire magazine write critic
about 2/5 BZ in december 2003 .

Istanbul City Report
Integrier mich am Arch (Integrate My Ass), declares a
deliberately misspelt German slogan superimposed over
a naked cowgirl shaking her bum, which alternates with
a mugshot of Germany's new Chancellor Angela Merkel
(who during her election campaign catered to
anti-Turkish resentment). The video Gegen die Bridge
(Against the Bridge, 2005), by Serhat Köksal, 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 of local initiatives and art schools – a gesture
that felt strategic rather than heartfelt. Köksal's
video – with its anarchic, early 1990s' cut-up energy

 Workshop with 2/5 BZ, Istanbul
Andere Orte 09/14/2005 11:00 at Ludwigsburg Filmakademie M1/01

Serhat Köksal, aka 2/5 BZ, is presenting a workshop on the subject of
Turkish pop cinema and deconstruction, exotic tourism and anti-orientalism,
copy culture and remakes, critical sound art and audiovisual experimentation
using collage and cut-up techniques, found footage, field recordings and
samples - in short: a critical and humorous re-use of mass culture. The
programme focuses on media literacy, the role of advertising and corporate
power in our lives, intellectual property issues and the evolution of art,
law and resistance in a media-saturated multi-national world.
