Frieze Projects 2012 - Aslı Çavuşoğlu




Murder in Three Acts is inspired by the representation of art in popular media, particularly in television crime series in which the artworks don’t solely exist in the background of the show, but become a vital part of the script: exhibitions function as crime scenes and art works act as murder weapons.

Imagining the decision-making process behind these props based on representation of forensics science and art, Murder in Three Acts is structured as a real-time performance involving a professional crime drama crew and actors, in which an ‘exhibition’ scene from a presumed crime drama is being discussed and rehearsed transparently during the opening hours of Frieze London.
