Hybrid Spaces
Featuring a selection from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, the Hybrid Spaces exhibition looks closer to the museum space that is considered 鈥渘onexistent鈥 from the perspective of architecture and has a multilayered character due to its continuous transformation. Borusan Contemporary opened its doors to visitors in 2011 with the concept of 鈥渁rt in the office鈥, and it continues to offer sensuous and exceptional visual experiences to its audience at the 鈥淗aunted Mansion鈥* with numerous exhibitions as well as its collection focused on the realm of new media. The problematique of the 鈥渘ew spaces for art鈥 came to the fore again during the pandemic and opens a debate on the functions and concepts associated with art institutions and their digital accessibility. The exhibition aims to intensify the dialogue between contemporary art and architecture while focusing on the multiple positions of architecture in relation to contemporary art.
Categorizing creative thoughts by framing them in today鈥檚 world is a challenge. Under these circumstances, through social, political, and ecological stances transcending spatial design, architecture brings forward several questions by opening discussions on the concepts not yet included in the vocabulary of contemporary art. What do we understand from the democratization of space? What about multifocal transformation instead of multipurpose utilization? Does the classical notion of the museum need a new audience while it is molting? As we approach these questions from the perspective of creative architecture, it is hard not to notice the convergence between contemporary art and architecture.
