“reading corner” Inspired by genuine Turkish culture, the artists have worked up interpretations of the contemporary book using materials as varied as soap, orange peels, pencils and light, as the exhibition each time has involved changes in terms of space and time, always offering a different set-up. With the slogan “books are a person’s best friend” we wished to hold our “reading corner” exhibition at gallery apel simultaneously with and parallel to the 11th Istanbul Biennial, whose theme is “What keeps mankind alive?”. This show will bring together works from the earlier “reading corner” exhibitions, giving viewers a chance at a visual reading but also to actually taste some entries. Nuran Terzioğlu
