The 11 th edition of Contemporary Istanbul ( 3 - 6 November 2016) brings together leading contemporary art galleries from Turkey and around the wor l d, giving a regional and international focus to the dynamic contemporary art scene that has developed in Istanbul in recent decades . With a distinct character as a place to discover and rediscover significant artis ts , CI will spread over the 1 4 , 0 00 m2 spaces of Lütfi Kırdar ICEC Rumeli Hall and Istanbul Congress Center. Notable for its unique position both geographically and culturally, CI pays undivided attention to Turkish contemporary art and also prides itself on bringing together galleries, artists and collectors from the entire region including the Caucasus, the Black Sea, the former Russian Federation and the Middle East, as well as other countries from around the world . CI Artistic Advisor M arc - Olivier Wahler comments: "There is an identifiable, strong and positive movement over recent years in the Turkish art world that cannot be stopped, and CI has an integral role in this. Art provides the visual narrative and the lens through which our s ociety can be understood through different perspectives. Espe cially in Turkey and the region, contemporary art acts as a toolbox for mental hygiene and that makes the fair even more relevant on an international stage.”

Also new this year is CI Design , which focuses on functional art and unique design pieces and is directed by Susan McMurrain.
