Turkey inaugurated its debut exhibition, Places of Memory, at its long-term pavilion at the prestigious Arsenale. One of the newest countries to participate in the 14th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, Turkey's project Places of Memory is a thought-provoking and lyrical exhibition that examines Istanbul's urban transformation. The exhibition is commissioned by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), and curated by architect Murat Tabanlıoğlu.
Using subjectivity as the starting point, Places of Memory explores how an individual relates to a city, through the daily exchange with the built environment. The exhibition brings together a group of artists and architects from Turkey to reflect their subjective views of urbanism and place. The team, headed by Murat Tabanlıoğlu and coordinated by Pelin Derviş, has spent the last seven months exploring and documenting their own relationships to Istanbul. Three areas of the city, Taksim-Karaköy, Bab-ı Ali/Sirkeci and Büyükdere, are examined through different scales, and different media. The result is an intelligent and arresting personal narration of what Istanbul means to the people who live there.
Tabanlıoğlu explains "Living in a city like Istanbul—which is experiencing an incredible urban transformation, especially in the last decade—it seems vital to look at what really is happening. Being aware that architecture and the built environment are not solely related to their subjects, but also related to our own memories about the place, it seems crucial to ask: what if we lose these? Are we about to lose our own memories? Let's for a while try to relate to the built environment through our own experiences, through our own past, through a subjective approach to feel what it means to us."
