Curator Başak Şenova structured her curatorial ideas for Jerusalem Show VII into seven chapters: INTENSITIES, DETAILS, INTERVALS, MEASURES, LINES, WRITING and FABRIC. Presented as part of the second Qalandiya International with its theme of ‘Archives, Lived and Shared’, the chapters were not sequential or delineated or arranged in any consecutive manner. As outcomes of the practice and activity of research (in all understandings of the term), and unfolding simultaneously within the framework of the programme, the fabric of the city, the venues and the scheduling,the constituent parts of ‘Fractures’ were presented in various formats: exhibition, site-specific interventions and projects, film and video screenings, performances, talks and walks, and in the publishing of several artists’ books and a children’s activity book. The curator herself stated: “FRACTURES is not about perceiving multiple time segments co-existing in this historical city, but is an attempt to describe how visions and sights can be read from different points of view. The core challenge is to read affectual flows in-between fractures of time. The aim is to detect similardetails and hidden mechanisms in order to open up new platforms of association and conversations on life, politics, culture, economics, psychology and art. Within this, the deeper question is how to process Jerusalem as the ‘standing reserve’ of this course of action.”
