İstanbul Modern - Rotterdam
Istanbul Museum of Modern Art organized an exhibition at Netherlands’ world famous Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen to celebrate 400 years of diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and Turkey.
"Istanbul Modern – Rotterdam" presented a small selection from the collection of Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, Turkey’s first museum of modern and contemporary art. Gathering together works by 14 artists from different periods, the exhibition focused on contemporary themes such as imagination, identity, the body and the socio-political discourses surrounding it, promises of a happy future, present-day political tensions, the interdisciplinary nature of visual culture, and the sanctification of life. "Istanbul Modern – Rotterdam" was part of a series of shows that Istanbul Modern held in major cities around the world since 2009. Describing Istanbul as a “new continent” at the center of the contemporary art world, the exhibition scrutinized the dynamics of transformation and change that have taken place in contemporary art from Turkey from the 1970s to the present day.
