For many, long gone are the days of searching dusty shelves for something to read. Tablets and smartphones are now the norms. But does jumping off the page and onto a screen, causing us to read less? What will we do with all those libraries full of books? We asked these questions to Alberto Manguel. He's not just the director of the National Library of Argentina, but also a writer and world-renowned bibliophile who owns more than 40.000 books.

Hera Buyuktasciyan likes to see herself as a storyteller. She uses wood, metal and stone to create historical narratives in her conceptual installations. This notion of history is a major part of her inspiration as she herself is a Greek-Armenian, born and raised here in Istanbul.

Hundreds of artists travel every year to a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic. They come to dance, play, act, paint and perform in the Walk and Talk Festival. And while the event only lasts a couple of weeks in July, it has turned Sao Miguel Island into an unlikely artistic hotspot for art lovers around the year.

She stood for six hours and let the audience do whatever they wanted to her. She once stabbed herself in the hand 20 times. She walked on the great wall of China for 90 days, just to break up with her lover. Such is the work of ‘the grandmother of performance art’, Marina Abramovic. And an exhibition in Belgrade takes a look back at her illustrious career spanning almost half a century.

The American poet Muriel Rukeyser says 'The universe is made of stories, not atoms'. An exhibition in Istanbul's Mesher Gallery says those stories are made of dirt. "Beyond the Vessel: Myths, Legends, and Fables in Contemporary Ceramics around Europe" shows how people created an idol of mud before anything else. Those sculptures evolved to tell stories so fascinating, Showcase's Nursena Tuter joked that she now finds the real world a bit too dull.
