Presented at the Italian Cultural Institute in Istanbul as a parallel event of the 15th Istanbul Biennial, NOT AN ARTIST was an Istituto Europeo di Design research project on the evolving roles surrounding contemporary art.

Moderated by art critic and curator Igor Zanti, the conversation explored how cultural professionals connect artists, institutions and audiences.
