The sleekly designed installation takes on the familiar profile of information booths scattered throughout city squares, airports, and tourist attractions worldwide. A smiling person waits behind a desk, ready to answer your questions.
Visitors to Artist Information want to know: Where can I rent a 16 millimeter camera in Istanbul? How many contemporary art collectors are there in the city? What does the term "ethnic" mean, and how does it function within contemporary art in Turkey? PiST plans to compile and publish a list of these questions, along with their answers. In some cases, PiST will call in artists and curators to give responses. But rather than supplying a single, "correct" answer to each inquiry, PiST will also include a range of responses from individuals outside the art world.
