If you are vacationing in or near Istanbul this time of the year, you've got one more day to catch Two Continents and Beyond: Waterways, at the Official Independent Project of the 9th Istanbul Biennale. This project, which counts Portland-tied Paul Middendorf and Mary Mattingly as its curatorial advisors, debuted at the Venice Biennale this year and now makes a second showing. Installed on one of Istanbul’s largest ferries, Waterways sails between historic ports of the European coast and the Asian to actively engage and explore the complex dynamic inherent in the systems of politics and international exchange as it relates to environmental conservation and global warming. Over 30 artists have collaborated on the project including Portlanders David Eckard, Ryan Jeffery, Paige Saez, Stephanie Snyder and Amy Steel.
