    Greetings from Istanbul
    ‘We have often witnessed peoples, societies and nations outside the Western world – and I can identify with them easily – succumbing to fears that sometimes lead them to commit stupidities, all because of their fears of humiliation and their sensitivities. I also know that in the West – a world with which I can identify with the same ease – nations and peoples taking an excessive pride in their wealth, and in their having brought us the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, have, from time to time, succumbed to a self-satisfaction that is almost as stupid.’ (Orhan Pamuk)

    Istanbul is, indeed, the place for identifying with the beauties and stupidities of different worlds simultaneously. A timeless cliché, but true: Istanbul is a cradle of dualities. Here, not only East and West but also informal and formal, tolerance …

    Mutations: world = city
    More than half the world's population currently lives in cities. Or rather, in what we call cites. In breakneck tempo urban mass is being produced in Asia, a form of urbanism that largely escapes architectural analysis, while in a completely contrary movement the European City seems to be losing control by not growing but by totally transforming from within. The exhibition Mutations shows fragments of la ville contemporaine.
