Dear #Firstname#
I hope you are well. I am pleased tolet you know of our participation in ArtInternational Istanbul, Istanbul's new contemporary art fair which takes place at the Haliç Congress Centre, 16 - 18 September 2013. We will be presenting works by Nadia Kaabi-Linke, Shahpour Pouyan, Driss Ouadahi, Larissa Sansour, Marwan Sahramani, Wafaa Bilal and Selma Gürbüz in a curated booth which explores a specific theme- The Poetics of Time. Through these works we explore the different ways that artists appropriate past histories and fictional futures to build a narrative.
To view the works we will be presenting please click here.
I am also delighted that Larissa Sansour's video 'Nation Estate' will be shown at the fair as part of the video programme curated by Basak Senova.
On Monday 4pm Larissa Sansour will also take part in a lively discussion on the 'politics of food'. Chaired by Aaron Cezar as part of the Delfina Foundation's new thematic season of events - London's largest residency program devoted to international collaborations with the greater Middle East. Cezar will be joined by Maggie Schmitt, co-author of The Gaza Kitchen, acclaimed artist Larissa Sansour, and Turkish food anthropologist Tangör Tan who will discuss their various projects which critically unpick the relationship between between food and the most salient issues of our day.
I look forward to seing you there.
Best regards,
Asmaa Al-Shabibi
