The "Fermantation" exhibition, part of the EU-supported "Jointly" program, organized in collaboration with the Konak Municipality and the Darağaç Collective Association, has been completed, spreading across the streets of Konak Modern and the Umurbey neighborhood. The closing event, attended by Mayor Nilüfer Çınarlı Mutlu, emphasized the project's contribution to Konak's cultural life.
Through its collaboration with the Darağaç Collective Association, Konak Municipality continues to transform Izmir's cultural and artistic landscape. The ongoing events within the "Jointly: Culture, Dialogue, and Support Program," organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) and supported by the European Union, culminated in a new exhibition spanning the streets of Konak Modern and the Umurbey neighborhood. Konak Mayor Nilüfer Çınarlı Mutlu attended the opening of the closing exhibition, met with artists, and emphasized the project's contribution to the cultural life.
The Fermantasyon series transformed the streets into an art center.
The final leg of this comprehensive project, which has long brought various exhibitions under the title "Fermantasyon" to art lovers, opened simultaneously on the streets of the Umurbey neighborhood and at the Konak Modern Art Gallery. Konak Mayor Nilüfer Çınarlı Mutlu attended the opening and examined the works on-site with the artists who contributed to the project. Mayor Mutlu expressed her sincere gratitude to all the artists who enriched Konak's cultural life and made their inspiring contributions. She stated that such projects are concrete indicators of the importance local governments place on art and culture.
An immersive art experience with two separate exhibitions.
The project's closing exhibition provided an opportunity to re-experience the works that have been spread throughout the streets of Umurbey since its inception, transforming the neighborhood into a temporary art center. The latest exhibition, which brought together a wide range of artists, featured impressive works from diverse disciplines, including Ali Çetinkaya, Jaku, Atakan Tuna, Yama/Maya (Ege Bulut & Uygar Mando & Dide Sevinçok & Berk Selamoğlu), and Cenkhan Aksoy. This closing exhibition will be open to the public at Konak Modern, as well as on streets 1512, 1519, 1522, 1523, 1525, 1527, and 1532 in the Umurbey neighborhood, until October 24th.
Furthermore, the main Fermantasyon exhibition, which opened at Konak Modern on September 19th, continues to attract considerable interest from art lovers. This exhibition, which will be on view until October 14th, features works by 21 young artists. Among these young talents are Armağan Şıvgın, Ayça Su Değirmenci, Deniz Kuzhan, Merve Aydar, and Okyanus Çağrı Çamcı. These exhibitions, which will remain open until two different dates, successfully continue Konak's mission to enrich its art calendar and bring the work of both young and established artists to Izmir audiences. Bringing art to the streets revitalizes neighborhood culture and adds dynamism to the area.
