A two-week project called Billboard Istanbul 2020 has taken over the city streets and attracted the interest of other cities, too
“I have been working between Denmark and Turkey for three years,” Fusun Eriksen says, “focusing on cultural and artistic exchange projects at the Danish Cultural Institute.” She is a Danish citizen but she was born and raised in Turkey.
The two-week long exhibition is underway, and will run until October 18, 2020. It brings together 115 contemporary female artists and selected students from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in Istanbul .The brainchild of Danish visual artist “Her art and projects focus primarily on dialogue with the surrounding society: the metropolis provides the platform for many of her projects,” press materials say. “The complexity of cities, with their constantly changing atmosphere and multifaceted architectural spaces, is a key starting point and source of inspiration, and guides the overall choreography of each individual project.
We learn from Eriksen that other cities have shown interest in billboard projects of their own. “We have an institute in St. Petersburg in Russia, and we will probably have the billboard project there next year.”
