Works from 17 internationally curated artists will be showcased at the Istanbul Modern Museum, featuring installations that celebrate 10 years of modern art in Turkey and seek to identify globalisation and its impact on Istanbul, through video clips, art and sculpture.
Amongst the artists featured in the exhibition, Nevin Aladağ presents an installation with traditional Turkish instruments, heavily influenced by the region of Sharjah in the Arab Emirates. Aladağ, who recently featured her solo exhibition at the Rampa Gallery, Istanbul, will host an installation featuring video clips spread across three separate screens.
