This year marks the 20th edition of Contemporary Istanbul, hosted by Tersane Istanbul, a milestone where art, society, and the spirit of the city converge in dazzling form. For two decades, it has shaped the cultural rhythm of İstanbul, drawing visionaries, collectors, and social circles from around the globe. Each year, creativity transforms the city into a living stage of inspiration, where ideas are exchanged, connections are forged, and unforgettable moments become part of a larger story.

Beyond Art, There is Aliée

Just steps away from Contemporary Istanbul, Aliée offers more than entry. With privileged pathways and curated encounters, we invite you to experience this cultural moment with ease, elegance, and quiet confidence. Beyond the galleries, the dialogue continues within our walls, where art lives not as spectacle but as presence.

In-House Collections

Discover Aliée’s own curated collection, where contemporary works and timeless pieces create an intimate dialogue within our spaces.

Pascale Marthine Tayou – Tornado

Suspended in Aliée’s Courtyard Gallery, a whirl of rainbow-colored corrugated metal sheets sweeps across the ceiling. Tornado turns an everyday material into a celebration of resilience, freedom, and light. Guided tours are available by registration.

Jorinde Voigt – Contemplation & Universal Splash

A luminous brass mobile and a series of works on paper explore the harmony between cosmic structure and perception. Voigt’s installation transforms the Courtyard Gallery into a dialogue between material clarity and metaphysical rhythm.

Summer Wheat – Subterranean Garden

Created during Aliée’s inaugural artist residency, this mosaic now forms part of our permanent collection. With its gold, black, and turquoise tones, the work evokes the sensation of walking on water, a lasting presence within the Courtyard Gallery.
