For this exercise, I will look at one of my reading post; 'Mapping International Exhibitions, by Ferguson and Greenberg.
In the reading I focus on one of the international locations exhibitions take place in, The Istanbul Biennial.

1. IMAGES

2. WORD

Here are a couple of pictures from different installations at The Istanbul Biennial.

Now, these are two of the installations explained in depth.

“The one reason I am not in politics but in art is because I feel that art has a possibility of shaping the souls of people and transforming the opinions of opinion leaders who are also then in a trickle-down effect shaping what will be the policies of government," - Christov-Bakargiev

Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev was the curator for the 14th Istanbul Biennial, “Saltwater: A Theory of Thought Forms”.

As you can see in the image, the sculptures are floating on water, Christov-Bakargiev uses the water as a metaphor.
