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.
And we named it ICE ( Istanbul | Contemporary | Etc).
As Contemporary Istanbul; we are happy to see our issue zero published with the contributions of writers both from Turkey and abroad.
We position ICE as a multi-disciplined magazine and there will be sections on art, design, architecture, fashion and lifestyle sections.
Some of the topics of the issue zero are:
Global art fairs file || Evaluation of the Venice Biennial, interview with the curators of the Nordic Pavillion, Elmgreen & Dragset || Interview with Berkun Oya on the Istanbul Biennial || Fashion and design trends of 2010 || "Believing in Turkish Design", interviews with the prominent names in design and art in 2009 || Interview with Arik Levy about his project Osmosis || Fashionable Istanbul and London Fashion Week coverages || Pieces on music, cinema and food || Gourmet photo shoot with Beymen Bej restaurant's chef Özgür Önol sponsored by Kayra; photographed by Yağmur Kızılok || Fashion shoot with REM dancers || And more...
