ALAN Istanbul’s main goal is to contribute to the production of independent and innovative contemporary art. It is aimed to mobilize spatial, social and financial elements for art. ALAN Istanbul was established to take part in the worldwide contemporary art movement, to bring the art produced worldwide to Istanbul and to carry what is produced in Istanbul to the world.
ALAN Istanbul hosts both local and international exhibitions and projects of artists involved in contemporary art. ALAN Istanbul is a living art environment where performances, video and film screenings are held in addition to exhibitions within the scope of plastic and visual arts. ALAN Istanbul is not only an art gallery but also a free and independent space for artistic action. Within the scope of the “Project Rooms” ALAN Istanbul also opens its doors to different means of expression of social interaction.
ALAN Istanbul is a place where artists and designers from different disciplines can exhibit their works and be seen in one of the most culturally dense areas of the city. In this respect, ALAN Istanbul aims to function not only as a physical but also as a social space and to help artistic works become a part of social interaction. ALAN Istanbul, which has become a permanent part of the Istanbul art network both spatially and in terms of the exhibitions and projects it realizes, has taken its permanent place in the agenda of the dynamic contemporary art audience.
ALAN Istanbul is a reliable source of reference for collectors with its permanent collection and expert team. ALAN Istanbul offers consultancy for those who want to develop and present their collections, to create collections that will reach the next generations or for those who are new to art collecting.
