RE: Visit to Istanbul - Biennial of Photography
Dear Michael, I just noticed that I haven't posted the reply I wrote to your private mail dated 9-15. The reply was on my "Drafts" folder, waiting me to send it you you. Apologies; I thought I already replied your message (BTW, I'd be glad to meet you when you're here). Anyway, it's the perfect time to be in Istanbul now, since we (IFSAK - largest photo club in Turkey) just opened the first International Biennial of Photography in Istanbul (dates: from 9-15-2006 to 10-31-2006). For the first time in Turkey, this event also includes a special section dedicated to alternative processes - consisting of 4 exhibitions and 3 workshops. Exhibitions (in alphabetical order): 1. Keith Gerling - Gum Dichromates (http://www.gumphoto.com) 2. Sandy King - Carbons, Pt/Pd's and Kallitypes 3. Michal Macku - Gellages (http://www.michal-macku.cz) 4. Galina Manikova - Silk Panels (http://www.galina.no) Workshops (in chronological order): 1. Loris Medici - An Introduction to Alternative Processes and Cyanotype (2 days, 9-23 to 9-24) 2. Keith Gerling - Gum Dichromate (3 days, 9-30 to 10-2) 3. Sandy King - Carbon (3 days, 10-13 to 10-15) Besides these wonderful alternative processes related events, there will be many more exhibitions (such as an Alexander Rodchenko retrospective, Gueorgui Pinkhassov... See the biennial web site @ http://www.ifsak.org/bienal/eng/index.html.). There will be a forum section too (panel discussions, lectures / paper presentations). See you in Istanbul, Loris. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Sinclair [mailto:gruesomegrinch@hotmail.com] Sent: 22 Eylül 2006 Cuma 03:49 To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Visit to Istanbul I'm going to be in Istanbul in early October - any suggestions from list members who live there or who know the city on photo-related things to see? Or anything else that isn't in the guidebooks, for that matter? Thx, Michael
