Biennial

Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, Istanbul

curated by Yuko Hasegawa

The 7th International Istanbul Biennial organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts.

The 7th Biennial will be curated by Yuko Hasegawa under the title "EGOFUGAL: Fugue from Ego for the Next Emergence" and will host 60 artists. The 7th International Istanbul Biennial will be realised in three historical venues, namely the Imperial Mint, Hagia Eirene Museum and the Yerebatan Cistern, all located in the heart of the old city of Istanbul as well as satellite venues in the different districts throughout the city.

The 7th International Istanbul Biennial will raise the question of "How can we liberate ourselves from our egos while maintaining self-esteem?" Egofugality is not selflessness, or self-sacrifice, or compromise. Egofugality, is a worldview in the three "c" visions, which are collective consciousness, collective intelligence and co-existence verified by strong egofugal subjects, which will eventually replace the three 'm' elements ‘man’, ‘money’ and ‘materialism’ that played key roles in the progress and development of 20th century civilisation and which simultaneously spawned considerable problems and sickness. The 7th International Istanbul Biennial will emerge by involving the audience’s consciousness through works, which propose the aforementioned potentials. (Excerpt from the conceptual framework Yuko Hasegawa developed for the 7th International Istanbul Biennial. For further information please visit our web-site)

The press opening of the 7th International Istanbul Biennial will take place on 21 September 2001 and will be followed by a series of panel discussions, lectures, performances, workshops and other special events.
