Borusan Contemporary, Rumelihisarı Mahallesi, Baltalimanı Hisar Caddesi No 5, Perili Köşk, 34470 Sarıyer – Istanbul


Borusan Contemporary launches the new season with a compelling exhibition by the American multidisciplinary artist Doug Aitken, his first-ever exhibition in Turkey. Curated by Jérôme Sans, it showcases a selection of Aitken’s works from 2007 to 2024

This monographic exhibition, which includes a site-specific installation commissioned by Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, invites visitors to the world of Aitken’s mastery in creating immersive artworks that truly mirror the rhythm of the environment around them.

Aitken is an artist that reflects the human condition in a thought-provoking, unforgettable manner. It is impossible to leave the images behind when you step out of the Perili Köşk on to the breezy Bosphorus coast road. Just don’t take your cue from the late Donald Sutherland’s final act.The taxi driver won’t thank you.
