Noordkaap Times II/ Istanbul
A sneak preview on the content: Dutch writer and columnist of the NRC, Bas Heijne, wrote a column about Dutch nationalism and populist politicians like Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders. Bart Nijstad, a cartoon artist from Groningen , contributed with a part of his comic "Muggen", which deals with populism. Curator/ writer Pelin Tan from Istanbul wrote the leading article about urban planning in Istanbuls Tophane district, a transitional area between the cultural entertainment center of Beyoglu and various residential neighborhoods. Dutch artist Jonas Staal spoke about ideology in critical art practice, artistduo Wouter Osterholt & Elke Uitentuis tell us something about the project during their residency program of the Fonds BKVB in Istanbul; "Monument to Humanity – Helping Hands. A proposal for a new Monument to Humanity in Kars, Turkey". A substantial part of this edition is about the recent works of Turkish artist Burak Delier. We showcase how one of his artprojects has been confiscated by unexpected political movements.

About the Noordkaap Times
The exhibitions and projects of the European Tour (2011-2012) are provided with substantial depth and background content through the accompanying publication, the Noordkaap Times. In this newspaper, the artworks and exhibition locations are linked to one another through anecdotes, background stories, results, photos of the various art projects, and so on. Cultural philosophers, sociologists, curators and art historians contribute to the newspaper. As such, the newspaper offers theoretical deepening of the subject matter. Authors hail from the Netherlands and from the cities that Noordkaap goes to.
In every city a new Noordkaap Times appears. The newspapers are printed on a 24 x 35 cm format, in an edition of 3000. They are distributed in the European host cities, and through presentation venues in the Netherlands. At the end of the tour the six publications together form the catalog.
Graphic designer Marleen Oud (Middelharnis, 1971) is responsible for the design of the newspaper. Oud studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven until 1996. The design of the Noordkaap Times is based on the format of the most popular local newspaper. In Munich this was the Tageszeitung and in Istanbul the Hürriyet. Art journalist Lennard Dost (Veendam, 1976) is connected to the newspaper as editor and coordinator. Dost studied Art History at the University of Groningen and writes about art for Dutch and Belgian newspapers and magazines (<h>ART, Het Parool).
