Contemporary Art Gains A New Outdoor Exhibition Space, Istanbul

Project 4L/Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art has opened the new outdoor Terrace Exhibition area of 1500 squared meters that will be displaying 23 art works selected from the portfolios of young applicants. The artworks consist of installations, sculptures made with different materials. A new platform that will provide recognition of the selected artists in the international art scene.

Project 4L was founded by the Elgiz under the name of Istanbul Museum of Contemporary Art. The museum opened in 2001, when there were no non-profit institutions in Turkey dedicated to contemporary art. Established with a mission to promote the development of contemporary art in Turkey, the initiave focused on giving space, support and international visibility to projects by young Turkish artists. Now, converted to a private collection museum under the name Elgiz Museum of Contemporary Art, the eclectic content of the collection allows the viewer to enjoy a comprehensive journey through the major contemporary art movements of the last two decades, while promoting the globalization of Turkish art. With the integration of new works by young artists the Elgiz Collection maintains its dynamism and prevalence.
