The Istanbul Biennial – a missed opportunity?
Banner Icon Art The 13th Istanbul Biennial has received mixed reactions, described by some as missing a fantastic opportunity for critical art.
Under the title “Mom, am I Barbarian?” this year’s Istanbul Biennial is a particularly interesting one in light of the protests that was sparked again last month. Open free of charge at a number of locations throughout the city from September 14-October 20, the event has been significantly affected by the Gezi protests. The plan was originally to showcase the different exhibitions in public urban spaces, including Gezi Park.
