Sinan Logie established the independent city research institute Center for Spatial Justice with Yaşar Adanalı in 2015. He is also co-author of the book “Istanbul 2023”, in which he and Yoann Morvan discuss the transformation and destruction Istanbul has undergone as they walk around the city. Logie, whose ongoing skateboarding practice has shaped his perception of the city and architecture for many years, deals with themes of freedom, body, movement, and speed in terms of modern architecture and urban planning, using these themes to create abstract city landscapes and architectural constructions. The ongoing series “Fluid Structures”, which began in 2000, consists of digital drawings and prints, juxtapositions on photographs, sculptures based on architectural models, and oil and ink paintings on canvas and paper. By bringing together abstract painting and modern architectural traditions, Logie interrogates two fundamental questions in architecture: building a structure and directing fluidity. He explores the present instantiations of these two concepts that mark each other’s boundaries and studies how to traverse the distance between them. In these two works from “Phase 12” series, Logie focuses on mobile, variable, and permeable spaces that cannot actually be built or experienced but can be imagined on the canvas surface through the use of pictorial elements like lines, stains, and colours.
