ISTANBUL BIENNIAL

 7th INTERNATIONAL ISTANBUL BIENNIAL ON THE RUN

 http://www.istfest.org


 The 7th International Istanbul Biennial organised by the Istanbul
 Foundation for Culture and Arts
 will take place between 21 September - 17 November 2001. The 7th Biennial
 will be curated by
 Yuko Hasegawa under the title "EGOFUGAL: Fugue from Ego for the Next
 Emergence".

 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. Yuko Hasegawa perceives Egofugality, as a worldview in the
 three "c" visions, which
 are "collective consciousness", "collective intelligence" and
 "co-existence" verified by strong egofugal
 subjects. The three "c" elements will eventually replace the three "m"
 elements 'man', 'money' and
 'materialism' that played key roles in the progress of 20th century
 civilisation and which simultaneously
 spawned considerable problems and sickness. The 7th International Istanbul
