"Art in Use: Case Studies from Turkey", May 2018 What are the current manifestations of "useful art" in Turkey? How does artistic production respond to local economic and political urgencies? Since its opening in September 2017 at #SALTGalata, the Office of Useful Art has been providing an open space for potential co-learning practices between SALT and its users, while exploring the possible uses of art in negotiating social and political issues. In May 2018, I was invited together with Alessandra Saviotti to lead a two-day workshop providing a discussion platform around the institution's research findings relating to various aspects of artistic practices in Turkey today.
