Opening Date of the New Season
Borusan Contemporary is preparing to open the 2026-2027 culture and arts season on September 19. The start of the season is shaped around two different exhibitions eagerly awaited in the art world.
Olivo Barbieri's First Solo Exhibition
Titled Time Space Geometry, the first solo exhibition in Turkey by Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri presents the artist's artistic practice spanning over forty years to viewers.
Curated by Dr. Fırat Arapoğlu, the exhibition brings together five different series covering the artist's works between 1999 and 2023.
Focus on Anatolia's Ancient Cities
Within the scope of the Time Space Geometry exhibition, new photographs produced in nine ancient cities in Anatolia upon the commission of the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection are being exhibited for the first time.
This special selection features prominent ancient settlements such as Perge, Kibyra, Laodikeia, Hierapolis, Aphrodisias, Ephesus, Sagalassos, Side, and Myra.
The Collection Selection Titled Haunted
Curated by Dr. Kumru Eren, the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection selection titled Haunted constitutes the other prominent pillar of the new season.
The exhibition takes its name from the historic Haunted Mansion (Perili Köşk), which has been home to Borusan Contemporary since 2011.
Digital Culture and Machine Intelligence
The Haunted exhibition deeply investigates how artificial intelligence, algorithms, and data technologies transform the contemporary visual world.
The selection addresses the transformations in digital culture regarding the ways reality is produced, perceived, and remembered.
Artists Featured in the Exhibition
The Haunted selection brings together works by many renowned international and local artists.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Memo Akten, teamLab, Quayola, Zimoun, DRIFT, Marco Brambilla, Daniel Canogar, and Kemal Önsoy are among the names in the exhibition.
