Becoming Istanbul
The exhibition entitled "Becoming Istanbul" will be held at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM (German Architecture Museum, Frankfurt) with the collaboration of Garanti Gallery (GG, Istanbul) from 6 September to 9 November 2008. The exhibition, which is presented parallel to the 2008 Frankfurt Book Fair, at which Turkey is the guest of honour, is curated by Pelin Derviş, Bülent Tanju and Uğur Tanyeli, who are also the editors of the book produced along with the exhibition.
The database is presented to the use of the viewer via an interface designed specifically for the exhibition and contains more than 7000 visuals focusing on 80 concepts and brought together under 390 subgroups.
