MAS Context in Istanbul Design Biennial. Two copies of our Communication issue (Issue 14) have made their way to the Istanbul Design Biennial! The copies are part of the mobile library designed by Yelta Köm that is part of the Adhocracy exhibition (curated by Joseph Grima along with Elian Stefa, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Pelin Tan and guest curator Maurizio Bortolotti). As the curators explain, the mobile library is “the theoretical corpse of the exhibition.” Besides MAS Context, we are happy to have copies of Inside Marina City and be among fantastic publications such as New City Reader, Quaderns and books from dpr-barcelona such as “Concrete Mushrooms” and “Did Someone Say Participate?.” For more information about the Istanbul Design Biennial, please visit the official website.

Thanks so much for the pictures Ethel! © All pictures by Ethel Baraona Pohl from dpr-barcelona Tags: 2012, ADHOCRACY, COMMUNICATION, ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL, NEWS. 2012/10: TOKİgiller Yaşam Mücadele Rehberi / TOKİ Dwellers The Survival Manual / Adhocracy / Istanbul Design Biennial 2012 « boğaçhan dündaralp. The main problem that this Survival Manual for Toki Dwellers is focusing on are: The lost of social interactivity and communication that cannot be transformed from their domestic lives through their individual will or communal practices. Both physical conditions and methodological organization segregates and prevents the activation of the TOKI dwellers.

The question is: Is it possible to create emancipatory public spaces, the search for the spatial justice in such building blocks, which are segregating the urban life, erasing the social and cultural practices, and devastating the notion of “place”. “Place” gains it’s meaning and empower within the everyday life and heritage of socio-cultural accumulation. How is possible if everything related to “place” has been devastated? This manual has the provocative and triggering role in order to remind our common demand on to act and communicate in a common and collective spatial organization.
