ISTANBUL’74 presents Random Forest (A Reading Room), a site-specific exhibition by Jonah Freeman & Justin Lowe with Boo-Hooray, which opened on 15 September 2022. Running parallel to the 17th Istanbul Biennial, the exhibition will be on view through November at Nef Bebeköy and can be visited free of charge. The exhibition design has the foundation of Jonah Freeman & Justin Lowe’s wallpaper work Random Forest. In this work, the artists have developed a pseudo-random design generator that makes color-fade grid patterns from their studio picture archive. Over 20,000 images are organized into categories according to subjects. The result is a seemingly endless matrix of imagery. Additionally, throughout the duration of the exhibition, a series of talks and events will take place at the ‘74 Lounge, designed by Gem Alf with rare vintage pieces, where visitors can also enjoy a special selection of titles at the Assouline corner.
