leAD  Turkey’s most famous living novelist is holding a pair of dentures in a room packed with ephemera reflecting everyday Turkish life of the past three decades. Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2006 and author of My Name is Red (1998) and Snow (2002), is standing among a sea of objects—sewing machines, clocks, soda-bottle tops, buttons, lottery tickets, china dogs, birdcages, cigarette lighters and false teeth—that will soon go on display in The Museum of Innocence, a four-storey building in the Çukurcuma neighbourhood, central Istanbul. This venue, not just a chamber of curiosities, is the real-life incarnation of the museum painstakingly assembled and detailed in his book The Museum of Innocence (2008). READ MORE

Illuminating the Messeplatz  Eric Hattan's uprooted lamp scuplture on display in the Messeplatz outside Art Basel this year is proving to be an understated hit at the show. Highlighting the differences in scale between public fixtures and furniture whilst connecting the piece with the shortlived life of an uprooted flower, Hattan shows links between both the natural and the built environment.

exhibitions  With works by more than 160 international artists dotted around the show’s permanent site, Oscar Niemeyer’s 30,000 sq. m modernist pavilion located in Ibirapuera Park, there will be plenty of art on show at the 29th edition of the São Paulo Bienal. This abundance is in contrast to the 2008 Bienal when the main exhibition space of Niemeyer’s building, its 250m-long second floor, was left empty. Former director Ivo Mesquita decided instead to pursue a programme consisting mainly of lectures, discussions and performances that examined the history and potential of biennial exhibitions. His decision sent shockwaves through the art world: since it was founded in 1951, the São Paulo Bienal has been the most important international exhibition in Latin America.
