Synopsis
Istanbul Modern's collection exhibition, "Artists in Their Time", focuses on how artists position their work and themselves within the concept of time. It suggests a conceptual field for examining, and reconciling, the links between an artist's time and societal, cultural, natural and universal time. It unites artists from very different periods, geographies and disciplines around common themes. "Artists in Their Time" takes as its starting point the words of Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar (1901-1962), one of Turkey's foremost intellectual and literary figures: "I am neither within time nor completely outside of it." Tanpinar's views about time illuminate the process by which artists come to terms with the relationship of their work with the past, the present and the future. Accordingly, this exhibition groups together works of art from distinct geographies, periods and disciplines that share the same emotions with respect to a variety of themes: the intersecting responses of abstract art from different periods; the role of materials and studios in the production of art; the transformation from landscapes and still lifes to the present conception of nature; the search for identity; attraction to the Higher and the spiritual; existential questioning; body politics; feminist approaches; the complex problems imposed by the new urban culture; the struggle against war, death and destruction; life stories from Istanbul, a metropolis defined by water and embracing the sea; and efforts to understand the people of Anatolia.

Softcover. Condition: VG. Colorful card wraps with red/black lettering on red/yellow spine. 319 pp. with color and bw images throughout. Catalogue of 193 works by 109 artists from the collection of the Istanbul Modern Muvesi/Museum. Published in Turkish and English, the collection catalogue for "Artists in Their Time" presents, along with texts on artists and their works, two articles by Ahu Antmen, art historian and critic, and Handan nci, literary historian and expert on Ahmet Hamdi Tanp nar. Through the context of time, Antmen focuses on modernization in Turkey, and interaction between generations and their coming to terms with one another. nci, on the other hand, presents a biographical account of Tanp nar with references to the notion of time as reflected in the author's work. Ahmet Hamdi Tanp nar (1901-1962) was one of Turkey's foremost intellectual and literary figures. "Artists in Their Time" highlights how artists experience their own times, feel anxious and frustrated that time emerges from the past and flows into the future, and form bonds between their own internal time and that of others. The exhibition also presents a base for discussing the place of art in transience and change and the transformation of art. "Artists in Their Time" offers a roadmap for understanding artists' intertemporal, existential journey through time as conceptualized in Tanp nar's work. In an age when we are able to imagine a variety of times simultaneously, the exhibition also reminds us of the comprehensive breadth of Tanp nar's views. - adapted from the museum's web site.
