What a race. Today we saw the exhibition in Atatürk Culture Center, one of the three main biennale venues, then went to Platform Garantie Gallery for a presentation of the next Manifesta. Then followed the introduction to a symposium at Istanbul Modern museum featuring all of the curators of the previous nine biennales - and then an introduction of the work of our professor Marysia Lewandowska and curator Manray Hsu back in our HQ, before we saw the exhibition in (second biennale venue) IMC; then we were off for a thing Iaspis held at a café celebrating a new Gunilla Klingberg piece, and now we´re off for the Opening Party - as tomorrow is the official opening day.

WIRE is the MA programme in Critical Writing and Curatorial Practice at the art and design college Konstfack in Stockholm (WIRE = write, interpret, research, exhibit). In posts labeled The WIRE Diaries, you´ll find a continuous update on what we do and some reflections on it all. Note that these are hardly official Konstfack or WIRE evaluations but on my part only.
