There is an activist/anarchist group who is protesting the Istanbul Biennial. I think it is just a little warm-up to their protest of the next IMF meeting, which also takes place here next month. I agree with most of what they say, but unlike them, my world view isn’t so absolute or idealistic. The think I like most about them is their English moniker: Resistanbul
As a guest of the biennial, I have to say, though, that they are just jealous because they don’t get to stay out all night with hilarious and cute Iranian artist boys like we did last night. We also saw some of the worst paintings EVER! You take the good with the bad.
