Directed Tours is a series of three conversational guided tours that activate and mediate Can Altay’s exhibition VFI – Virgolo Future Institute at ar/ge kunst.
The title Directed Tours arises from the term Directed Gaze, defined by Altay himself as describing part of his practice and acknowledging the centrality of the encounters with other people in the process of approaching a new context.
Starting from this idea, ar/ge kunst and Lungomare propose a series of guided visits with some of the people who met with the artist during his residency and thus shaped his research and the exhibition itself.
AHALI JOURNAL NEW ISSUES
During the exhibition seven new issues of Ahali journal are being published as an extension of Altay’s project. These new issues supplement the installation and can be taken by visitors to the exhibition.
The Directed Tours mark the launch of three corresponding issues and are also being published on this occasion by the online information portal Salto.bz.
Ahali is the journal founded by Can Altay in 2007 and designed by Asli Altay, Future Anecdotes Istanbul.
