Tepta Lighting 25th anniversary exhibition: DAY, LIGHT, NIGHT

Istanbul Modern hosted "Day, Light, Night", an exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary of TEPTA Lighting, Istanbul Modern’s lighting sponsor since the Museum’s foundation in 2004, with the support of Consulate General of Italy in Istanbul.

The first exhibition in Turkey to focus exclusively on "lighting", “Day, Light, Night” brought together some of the world’s leading architects, designers, artists and the design-oriented lighting brands that TEPTA represents in Turkey.

Curated by lighting designer Ulrike Brandi, the exhibition comprised original works prepared especially for the occasion by designers, artists and architects focused on lighting, installations and light objects. Brandi is the founding director of UBL and Brandi Institute in Germany.

The conceptual framework of the exhibition was inspired by the way Istanbul’s temperament varies depending on the hour and weather conditions of the day. In this regard, the exhibition’s nine installations provided viewers an opportunity to rethink and interpret "natural light".
