With seven inauguratory exhibitions, Arter’s new building, designed by Grimshaw Architects of London, brings a breath of fresh air to Istanbul's art scene
Arter opened with seven exhibitions independent of each other, two of which are group exhibitions. Why were these exhibitions selected for the opening? Arter’s inaugural programme features seven exhibitions in total, four of them drawn from its collection that comprises more than 1,300 works as of 2019.
Curated by Başak Doga Temur, the Altan Gurman retrospective exhibition is put together from the collection and brings to light the entire oeuvre of the artist who died in 1976. brings together works produced since the 1970s and new pieces the artist has produced specifically for this exhibition, offering an in-depth overview of Erkmen’s practice. comprises of a three-part film series that the artist shot at different museum storage facilities.
The opening of Arter at its venue on Istiklal Street in May 2010 indeed marked an important moment in this series of steps and was a clear sign that the Foundation’s support for and efforts in the field of contemporary art were going to continue.
The Koc Family owned an old industrial building of 15,000 sq. m. in Dolapdere, a stone’s throw from Taksim Square and Gezi Park, which they kindly donated to the Vehbi Koc Foundation in 2013. Initially we considered the possibility of converting this industrial building to a museum, but restoration costs to comply with the new construction regulations were much too high, and thus rendered the conversion inviable.
Our multidisciplinary events programme will feature outstanding and innovative examples of performing arts, classical, contemporary and electronic music, film, performance and digital arts, where possible in dialogue with the collection and exhibitions. Collaborating with local and international artists, curators and various institutions, we will also commission and co-produce new works.
