The upheaval over the biennial began when İKSV abruptly changed the curator last year.

Cooperating with the artists, İstanbul Biennial opens two artist films to online access every Friday in weekly periods: “We hope that today, art will find an even greater outreach, and reckon that imagination is incredibly vast to be defined by physical boundaries.”

Attended by several artists and businesspeople, the opening reception of the 16th İstanbul Biennial has witnessed a ‘Freedom to Kavala’ protest by artists wearing shirts and bags with Kavala’s photograph on them.

A group of college students, artists, local residents and activists protested a session in Istanbul's 13th Biennial yesterday, saying that certain organization funders supported Istanbul's controversial urban renewal projects.
