These are some of the key issues discussed by those participating in conversations across and beyond the six European museums that make up the L’Internationale confederation. In April 2017 the five-year L’Internationale program The Uses of Art will culminate in a series of simultaneous activities: exhibitions, (online) publications, discursive events, and more.

SALT’s final L’Internationale exhibition attempts to provoke original responses and readings from its users of what SALT Galata, as a cultural entity, is or could be. Four artistic interventions/architectural gestures – by Abbas Akhavan, Refik Anadol, Futurefarmers, and Laure Prouvost – embrace the user through their reinvigoration of previously under-used aspects of the building and its resources, such as the archive, bringing to the foreground suggestions of different potential functions or possibilities that temporarily reframe the institution.
