The tradition of exhibition and the effects of globalization in contemporary Turkish art

In the 1990s, Turkish contemporary art ushered in a new period of time especially in terms of the tradition of exhibition. In Turkey, the 1990s, especially seen as the years where cultural dialogues started in a global sense, indicate a process in which outward oriented policies arose clearly. Art production in this period is synchronized with world art. In this period events including the biennial event, art fairs, increased international organizations and alternative, innovative art movements can be observed and it is possible to say that with the help of exhibitions realized by the curators the transition has been made to a new concept of display.
