Memory and Scale

Istanbul Modern aimed to shine a light on the history of modern sculpture from Turkey with the exhibition "Memory and Scale". The ehibition endeavored to provide an historical perspective and determine where it stands today by going beyond a sculptural work’s creative manipulation of volume, space and form to reach the world and concepts that have produced it.

The exhibition was primarily an attempt at cataloguing and identifying the sculptural idioms developed since 1950, from the early period of abstract-constructivism to the dominance of design over sculptural form, from the opposition in local and universal aspects to the diversity in the choice of materials, and from open air sculpture pieces to the concept of scale, essential to indoor installations.
