ICE (Istanbul Contemporary Etc.) launched!
Istanbul breathes so fast, it leaves us breathless. There are so many things happening simultaneously in Istanbul that sometimes going, seeing or talking about what we've seen does not satisfy us... This city excites us and a moment comes, when we feel the need to turn everything it gives us into something else... We, who feed on this city, have come together with a mission to translate Istanbul's dynamism to the whole world and document everything's going on in this city in a brand new magazine with international standards. We aim to keep Istanbul on everyone's agenda as one of the most important cities in the world and share our enthusiasm for the city with the whole world.
