Zilberman Gallery, founded in Istanbul in 2008, stages 10-12 exhibitions every year at its main gallery spaces in Istanbul and Berlin and at the project space. The gallery occupies two separate floors of Mısır Apartment, one of the most famous examples of art nouveau architecture in Istanbul. In 2016, Zilberman Gallery opened its new Berlin space in a turn-of-the-century building in Berlin's Charlottenburg neighborhood. The gallery has a strong presence at international art fairs, forging close relationships with collectors, curators and art professionals, and creating opportunities for gallery artists. With the firm belief that a commercial gallery should also assume its social responsibility of education and audience development, Zilberman Gallery organizes artist talks, lecture performances, book launches, as well as round table discussions. Zilberman Gallery also provides the artists with the opportunity to live and work in Berlin through it's new artist-in-residency program. Concluding each years' exhibition season, Zilberman Gallery curates Young Fresh Different, a group show with a selection of works chosen by an independent jury from applications made to a nationwide open call.

Öktem Aykut is founded by Doga Öktem and Tankut Aykut in November, 2014 in Istanbul. The gallery has organized over 100 exhibitions in two different gallery locations and in extra spaces so far, and took part in many international art fairs. Öktem Aykut has mostly exhibited works by Istanbul-based emerging and mid-career artists. Doga and Tankut have aimed to work with artists of diverse backgrounds with alternating artistic references, yet the gallery mainly cared to highlight a common critical approach towards contemporary societal conditions. The prolific practice of exhibition making and the remaining inclusive approach towards the divergent Istanbul art communities made Öktem Aykut the leading young independent contemporary art gallery in Turkey. The gallery work is chiefly assumed by Doga and Tankut, with the help of their sole assistant Mehmet Akyildiz since from the beginning.

Ayça Telgeren (b. 1975, Gölcük) focuses on sentiments, potentials, in betweens and the emotions that is intuitively known and collectively felt, yet cannot be defined. The artist – starting with what is personal to her, her own archeology – tries to reach a pool of collective memory. Within the process, she defines herself more as an explorer rather than a constructor or an observer. The artist is widely known for her hand-cut works that she adopts as a natural form of expression. However Telgeren’s works demonstrate a wide variety of materials and techniques that shape according to the needs of her current subject matter, ranging from metal, gas concrete, concrete sculptures, to video and peinture. Telgeren completed her BA and MA in Painting at Mimar Sinan Faculty of Fine Arts. Having participated in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, she has also been a part of HAH artist collective since 2017. The artist currently lives and works in Istanbul.

In my works I want to reveal the inner depths of my subjective world as well as today’s social, cultural and political geography we live in. The codes I have been using are interpretations about both my own universe as well as the outer world. But sometimes, materials which I use may also be more complex than the metaphorical meanings in the work itself. Therefore because of the excessive style, disclosing itself excessively and questioning similar problems and creating same answers in viewers’ mind, I think that it carries some risks. Since the signs in the works of art have not always the purpose of giving a message, as in the sign language and traffic symbols, they can not be described in a certain way and neither be classified nor be understood easily due to their nature. Consequently, signs in my works have a specific autonomy. This phenomenon sometimes transforms itself into a game which I even find rather amusing. Also my themes suck as identity, migration, dilemma of birth-death, alienation, loneliness, economic crises, famine, wars, cultural differences etc. have been accepted as common themes of contemporary art especially during the period of globalization. These create different relationships of form and content in our imagination.

I have a special interest in subjects such as body, gender, human-space relationship and architecture in my works. In both my 2D/3D graphic compositions, where I combine human figures and architectural elements, I explore the relationship between the individual and their environment. In my works, I create a new frame from objectivity to subjectivity by distorting the form in the captured moment and manipulating the frozen 'moment'. By making additions and subtractions to the captured frames, I produce questions on the concept of body and space. With my digital productions where the connection between body and object is blurred, which is controlled and shaped by various power mechanisms, the surface of the body and the concept of abject; I ask questions about body, identity, form, politics and gender. The tools I use most frequently in my works are 3D software, instant films and digital prints.

Nermin Er uses paper and ink as the main materials for her artworks. In search of the limits and possibilities of the material, the artist has worked in the animation world for many years creating stories by minimal combinations of paper, light and shadow. Elements such as people, cities and nature in daily life are interpreted in the cinematographic scenes constructed in the form of a silhouette. In her recent works, Er focuses on the concepts of masses and visual and intellectual themes such as accumulation and dispersion, creating micro spaces by adding-removing or stacking particles to surfaces. The works of the artist, in which she brings together volume and dynamism on the surface by creating the dimension, she also creates an integrative language of expression just like phrases juxtaposed. Besides her paper works, there are also animation-video works that can be described as a reflection of the artist’s process of studying the material.

Gülsün Karamustafa graduated from the Istanbul State Fine Arts Academy in 1969. Since the 1970s, she has been considered a visionary who gives meaning and form to personal freedom in art. As such, she has had enormous influence on younger generations of Turkish artists. Karamustafa appears to approach life and art with relentless curiosity; perhaps one reason why she has become a key figure in Turkish contemporary art. Through her work, she addresses themes such as (gender) identity, tradition, memory, cultural shifts and their effects. Her work can be found in international collections including those of the Guggenheim, the Tate Modern and the Van Abbemuseum. In 2014, Karamustafa received the Dutch Prins Claus Prijs and in 2021, the Swiss Roswitha Haftmann award.

I live and works in Istanbul. I graduated from the painting department in Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts in 2017. I continue master's degree in painting at Hacettepe University. I create in a multidisciplinary style, urban history, the memory of the place and by working on archival studies. I focuse on the layered network of relations established with the ground. Since 2019, we have been working with Arek Qadrra as an artist duo.
