Contemporary Istanbul wıll host “Curatorial Exhibition” from this year, CI 2011 is hosting an exhibition for the first time in the fairground. A selection of artists from local and international participating galleries are in the exhibition curated by Selin Turam.

The aim of this exhibition is to illuminate contemporary issues of art and culture today, and present an interpretation of how the subject/object of art has evolved within the rapidly changing environment and explore how the contemporary art scene has dealt with the perpetual motion of the narrative. It views the contemporary as a fluid practice in which perception, collective memory and sensation emerge as ways to comprehend and shape the temporary intellect, to a point where they form hybrid interactions.

Contemporary culture has acknowledged the staging of these hybrid structures, almost to a layering effect where the objects have become transparent and their references crowded. This transparency now allows all to be confronted in an instant, leaving the audience with the legacy of tension between spaces and places; the tangible and the intangible, of here and there.
