istanbul by schjeldahl

he goes in for the show, but ditches it for istanbul's layered city

[it's also a concise story of the art biennial form, [as opposed to the super-money art fairs]], and i love how he describes the one work in the show that impressed him: "The piece is an immense minaret, in cast aluminum, that is propped on a steel framework in the attitude of a Scud-like missile. I’m not sure what it says, but it scared me."
