press release

The Moving Museum Istanbul Exhibition now Open On October 28, The Moving Museum launched its 2014 Istanbul exhibition in the Sishane Otopark. The exhibition spans over 80,000 square feet and features newly commissioned presentations by over 40 artists and collectives produced during The Moving Museum Istanbul Residency, an intensive three-month residency period and public programme in Istanbul. The artists represent a generation of practitioners working seamlessly across disciplines and borders, displacing aesthetics and redefining best practices against a backdrop of constant change. The exhibition serves to articulate these approaches through the locus of Istanbul, a city echoing this artistic flux, and whose questions and promises embody a microcosm of compatible concerns. The Moving Museum Istanbul is open Wednesday – Sunday 12-6, at Sishane Otopark. Entrance is on the Metro Level public park promenade. International visitors are invited to tune into the beta version of www.themovingmuseum.com for a comprehensive overview of artists projects and more, soon to be announced.
