IstanbulEindhoven SALT Van Abbe Exhibition in SALT Beyoğlu and SALT Galata

Between 27 January - 6 April 2012, SALT will have a exposition of works of Atelier van Lieshout, Pierre Huyghe,  Rineke Dijkstra, Marlene Dumas and Mike Kelley, amongst others. In addition to believing that these particular works are of inspirational importance and hence should be seen first-hand, the selection also revolves around several key themes explored within artistic practices of this Post '89 period.

SALT and Van Abbemuseum are collaborating on a series
of exhibitions that bring together works from the Van
Abbemuseum collection with selected local positions.
Planned to coincide with the 400th year of diplomatic
relations between Turkey and the Netherlands, the
project aims to enhance and celebrate the growing
cultural exchange between the two countries.

İstanbul Eindhoven-SALTVanAbbe will evolve over
the course of three exhibitions presented across both
SALT venues throughout 2012. The first exhibition
İstanbul Eindhoven-SALTVanAbbe: Post ’89 opens on
January 27 and presents art works loaned from the Van
Abbemuseum collection that were produced after the
year 1989.

In collaboration with the team at Van
Abbemuseum, SALT has selected over forty individual
works by fifteen international artists who have either
never shown in Istanbul or have been rarely exhibited
despite their notoriety. In addition to believing that these
particular works are of inspirational importance and
hence should be seen first-hand, the selection also
revolves around several key themes explored within
artistic practices of this period.

İstanbul Eindhoven-SALTVanAbbe is kindly supported by 
the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Exhibition-related public programs are kindly supported by 
the Mondriaan Fund."
