Three exhibitions at Istanbul gallery


Istanbul art space Alt is hosting sculpture, video and installation exhibitions by four artists between July 13 and Oct. 9. Ahmet Soğut, an artist from Turkey's southeastern Diyarbakır province, will exhibit newly commissioned sculptures, installations and video works reflecting on injustice and resistance, according to the Alt website. The work of Marwa Arsanios, who lives and works in Lebanon, focuses on the politics of resistance in the Arab world and her video Have You Ever Killed a Bear, or Becoming Jamila concentrates on Algerian freedom fighter Jamila Bouhired. Artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla present two video installations - The Great Silence and Apotome - dealing with sensory perception, the first by concentrating on the work of the world's largest radio telescope and the second in dealing with a 1798 musical experiment on communicating with animals.When: Oct. 9Where: Alt gallery
