Visiting other art fairs such as Abu Dhabi Art and Art Dubai, one could think that they represent the untouchable top of the world art supply, but Contemporary Istanbul proved to be so remarkable that it could be placed shoulder to shoulder with well-known art events.

Contemporary Istanbul provides, besides exhibitors, also 90 minute shows, new horizons, CI dialogs and sunday seminars.

Galleries with a special focus on digital art and new media are central to PLUGIN, presenting as many examples as possible of the wide array of genres that make up the digital art and design scene from sound and light installations, interactive and generative design, indoor mapping projects to robotic designs. This sets it apart from other fairs of its kind.

All in all, Contemporary Istanbul is an excellent platform for the presentation of contemporary art worldwide and is open until November 16, 2014.
