Published in conjunction with the 12th Istanbul Biennial in 2011. Taking the work of Cuban American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres as a point of departure, this edition explores the rich relationship between art and politics, focusing on works that are both formally innovative and politically outspoken. It consists of five group exhibitions surrounded by approximately 50 solo presentations, all housed in a single venue. Each of the group exhibitions feature a large number of artists' works brought together under the themes Untitled (Abstraction), "Untitled" (Ross), "Untitled" (Passport), Untitled (History), and "Untitled" (Death by Gun), which refer to works by Gonzalez-Torres. Each solo presentation explores the issues introduced by the group shows in greater depth.

With foreword by Bige Örer. Information on related programmes such as the conference 'Remembering Istanbul', the film programme 'Untitled (Film)', and other parallel events is provided.

Note: Only participating artists from Asia are listed below.
