Artam Antik A.S. is hosting a highlight exhibition in Istanbul which will be open until the October 18, 2019. Wednesday Society exhibition takes place at Artam Antik, a nineteenth-century Ottoman mansion in Istanbul’s popular Macka neighborhood in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, Allianz Kulturstiftung and ifa—Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen. Curated by A.S. Bruckstein / House of Taswir. Addressing what Freud called the “dark continent” of female desire, the exhibition presents works of the legendary Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim and Georgian artist Natela Iankoshvili for the first time in Istanbul, next to a number of rarely seen works of Rebecca Horn from the Collection Peter Raue in Berlin. Wednesday Society exhibits parts of the digital archive of Beral Madra, curator of the first and second Istanbul Biennial, paying homage to a pioneering female contemporary figure in Istanbul’s art scene and beyond.
