ISTANBUL MODERN PROMISES A GREAT DAY TO SPEND WITH YOUR CHILD Istanbul Modern Art Museum offers a wholly innovative program to experience with your children.

PARENTS' ROLE IN CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT WITH GÜL ŞENDİL Directed by Prof. Dr. Gül Şendil this seminar touches upon the role of parents in children’s creative development and examines the concept of “creativity” from the perspective of domestic relations and child raising techniques. THIS RETROSPECTIVE OF THE WORK OF İNCİ EVİNER This retrospective of the work of İnci Eviner, organized by Istanbul Modern, surveys the artist’s creative process from the 1980s to the 2010s. It displays her rich search for expression, ranging from drawings to paintings, video works to installations, photography to sculpture. Eviner’s artistic output is not arranged chronologically, but through a nonlinear positioning of past and recent works, and even incorporates the exhibition space itself. Eviner is a pioneering artist who has been influential in the transformation of Turkish contemporary art, and who has developed a unique mode of expression regarding female identity in its collective, political, and sociocultural aspects. Investigating the historical, discursive, and unconscious narratives that influence our views of women starting at a young age, the artist defines womanhood not as encompassed by a single image but as a field of limitless imagination. Proceeding from the daily gestures of women of all ages, Eviner questions the modes of representation judged appropriate for them and the prohibitions that prevent the actualization of a woman’s fullest potential.
