Istanbul Modern is het prachtig aan de Bosporus gelegen museum voor moderne kunst van Istanbul. Bovenstaande foto is genomen in het café. Momenteel loopt de expositie:
“In Praise of Shadows”, reflecting the influences on contemporary art of the long history of the shadow theatre in Turkey and Greece comprises works that are based on folk tales or simple contemporary narratives and presents more than 100 works of shadow theatre with dance, opera and music, silhouettes, drawings, texts, manuscripts, and films.
The exhibition explores the parallels between the traditions of shadow theatre and the new narrative spirit in contemporary art, while transmitting the traces of the traditional art form on the contemporary world of art in recent years.
Zou de curator dit aan de bar bedacht hebben?
