The 12th edition of Contemporary Istanbul (14 – 17 September 2017) brings together leading contemporary art galleries from Turkey and around the world, giving a regional and international focus to the dynamic contemporary art scene that has developed in Istanbul in recent decades.
With a distinct character as a place to discover and rediscover significant artists, CI will spread over the 13,600 m2 spaces of Lütfi Kırdar ICEC Rumeli Hall and Istanbul Congress Center. Notable for its unique position both geographically and culturally, CI pays undivided attention to Turkish contemporary art and also prides itself on bringing together 74 galleries from 25 cities across more than 20 countries presenting 1500 artworks, including 27 galleries that are participating for the first time.
