A field being spoken into the room

In the context of “Nerden Geldik Buraya: Vasıf Kortun’u Okumak” published in collaboration between SALT and Robinson Crusoe 389, the talk unfolded into something larger than a book presentation.

From the emergence of “contemporary art” as a term in Turkey, to the formation of institutions and the shaping of a cultural language, the conversation traced a living history, one that continues to define the present.

Not a quiet library moment.

A field being spoken into the room.

Moderated by Borga Kantürk.

Full house. Open doors. Ongoing questions.

“Nerden Geldik Buraya: Vasıf Kortun’u Okumak” is available at COMMENTARIVM. The English edition is on its way.

Thank you. 🏴@vasif.kortun@borgak@sezinromi@robinsoncrusoe389@salt_online
