RE: Visit to Istanbul - Biennial of Photography
Hi Loris, We appear to have SPAM filters that are blocking our personal messages so I am going to communicate through this list, with the indulgence of the participants. I look forward to seeing you next week in Istanbul. Through Air France I have verified that the name change requested has been made, so I am OK on that account. Please send me the name, address and phone number of the hotel in Istanbul where I will be staying. Also, please send me your contact information, i.e. cell and home phone numbers. I will have a cell phone operative on arrival in Turkey and will send you the number early next week. And let me know if I should make my own arrangements for getting to the hotel from the airport, or if someone will be meeting me.

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 |
