The exhibition, titled Archive, signifies the closing of a chapter for Versus Art Project as they bid farewell to their iconic white cube gallery in Istanbul—a space distinguished by its apartment-like layout, soaring ceilings, and exposed moldings. For 12 years, the gallery has occupied Hanif Han, an exceptional example of Istanbul’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture, built in 1904 by architects Antonie N. Perpignani and M. G. Langas. With this departure, yet another cultural institution leaves the historic Beyoğlu district.
