İstanbul Biennial selection travels to Sicily in new show
The project, organized by Riso, Museo d’Arte Contemporanea della Sicilia and the Fondazione Campania dei Festival, is slated to continue through 2012.
The İstanbul Biennial selection, which went on display on July 10 at the Fondazione Puglisi Cosentino in Catania, will remain on view until Nov. 7.
The show, titled “What Happens to the Hole When the Cheese Is Gone?”, is featured alongside two other exhibitions from the biennials of Marrakech and Athens, which opened on July 8 and 9 at the Palazzo Riso and the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Palermo.
“What Happens to the Hole When the Cheese Is Gone?” is in direct dialogue with the key themes and trajectories of the 11th İstanbul Biennial, whose theme was “What Keeps Mankind Alive?” On the other hand, it also immediately suggests the uncertainty, and even the impossibility, of recreating the original exhibition.
“What Happens to the Hole When the Cheese Is Gone?” tries to oppose the idea of a biennial overview, rather proposing “a kind of discontinued journey that reveals some of the crucial relations that took part in the process of its inception,” the İstanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) says on the İstanbul Biennial’s website.
Works by over 25 international artists and artist groups are featured in the exhibition, including Nevin Aladağ, Yüksel Arslan, KP Brehmer, Etcétera, Nilbar Güreş, Sharon Hayes, Hamlet Hovsepian, Michel Journiac, Avi Mograbi and Erkan Özgen.
A significant part of “The Cities of the Mediterranean” project is an artist in residence program, in which Mohamed El Baz from Casablanca, Nazım Dikbaş from İstanbul and Vassilis Patmios Karouk from Athens are hosted in Italy, while Italian artists Sebastiano Mortellaro, Domenico Mangano and the /barbaragurrieri/group are working in Rabat, Athens and İstanbul, respectively.
