The Istanbul Modern exhibition "Artists in Their Time" deals with how artists position their work and themselves in time. The exhibition's starting point is Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, one of Turkey's foremost intellectual and literary figures. "I am neither within time nor completely outside of it," he once said. His views about time illuminate the process by which artists come to terms with the relationship of their work with the past, present and future. "Artists in Their Time" gathers artwork from distinct regions, periods and disciplines. Viewers see intersecting responses of abstract art from different periods, feminist approaches, urban culture, life stories from Istanbul, anti-war views, a quest for identity, the concept of metropolis and understanding Anatolian people.
