The Istanbul Biennial has had a troubled few years. In 2013 it was embroiled in controversy over its reaction to political demonstrations in the city’s Taksim Square, while the current 14th edition arrived at a time of growing political tension in the country. As it draws to a close this week and Turkey prepares to go to the polls in a snap election, Dany Louise argues that this international biennial has failed to respond to the urgent and compelling context it finds itself in.

I’ve just put in a request for unpaid leave in work and for some reason, it has made me feel incredibly apprehensive. Like most artists, I’ve been struggling with the age old ‘time and money’ dilemma and not quite knowing […]
