Contemporary Istanbul (CI), Turkey s leading art fair, will open a virtual edition Dec. 21, featuring works of renowned Korean artists, including Chun Kwang-young.
The event, which was scheduled to take place this week at the Istanbul Convention and Exhibition Center, saw a change in plan after the COVID-19 pandemic failed to subside. The organizers decided to go two-track, hosting a virtual edition of the event from Dec. 19 to Jan. 6 and pushing back the physical event to April 2021.
The fair s director Melih I?smail I?nan said the virtual edition will try to reproduce the same experience as visiting a physical fair.
