Designed as the opening exhibition for santralistanbul, “Modern and Beyond” covered the history of art in Turkey during the fifty-year period between 1950 and 2000. Curated by Fulya Erdemci, Semra Germaner, Orhan Koçak and Zeynep Rona, the exhibition brought together some 500 works by more than a hundred artists and artist groups with the aim of presenting and discussing the process of transformation which artistic production in Turkey underwent since the 1950s. Initially scheduled to run for six months between 9 September 2007 and 29 February 2008, the exhibition has later been extended through 15 June 2008 due to intense interest.
