Zilberman Istanbul continues the 2020-2021 art season with a group exhibition that will feature works by international signatures that have never been exhibited in Istanbul before.
The exhibition entitled Unlock proposes the constructive, healing and unifying energy of culture and art against the social, cultural, and economic shock created by the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, against which the world has been fighting a battle over a year now at terrible costs, both material and moral. In the face of the ‘Lockdown/Quarantine’ practice, which humanity has been exposed to and which caused many cultural and artistic activities to be postponed, the exhibition aims to keep the doors open as a kind of ‘intensive care’ source with a 24/7 responsibility and understanding, and enables that the laborers of this field meet with their audience under every possible condition.
Given this, during the exhibition, which can be visited between Tuesday and Friday, social restrictions necessitated by the pandemic shall be cared for as well as meeting hygienic conditions such as masks and disinfectants, and audience restriction for social distance.
Heba Y. Amin, Alpin Arda Bağcık, Başak Bugay, Burçak Bingöl, Guido Casaretto, Antonio Cosentino, Elmas Deniz, Memed Erdener, Zeynep Kayan, Azade Köker, Sandra del Pilar, Erinç Seymen, Yaşam Şaşmazer, Isaac Chong Wai and Eşref Yıldırım will attend the exhibition with their recent works in our gallery on the second and third floors of the historical Mısır Apartment in Galatasaray between December 15 and January 27, 2021.


Zilberman, founded in Istanbul in 2008, stages 10–12 exhibitions every year in its gallery spaces in Istanbul and Berlin. The gallery occupies two separate floors of Mısır Apartment, one of the most famous examples of art nouveau architecture in Istanbul.
