“Ossetian Sea” was held at the Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin, Germany. The exhibition presented a slice of contemporary video art of the self-organization of young Ossetian artists. Ossetian contemporary art exists in a situation of isolation from European art processes, markets and institutions. It is autonomous and seems to be imprisoned in internal immigration, in its own logic of artistic production, rather resembling closed waters. In fact, no sea exists in Ossetia. The exhibition affirms a special economy of dreams, where the utopian geography of openness becomes the only possible reference point.

Curated by Anton Valkovsky

Artists: Anna Kabisova, Eugeny Ivanov, Karina Batsoeva, Aljona Shapovalova, Sarmat Misikov, Irme Mamsirati, Georgy Gogichaty and Dmitry Malkov.

Reality Suspended: Art in the Era of Post-truth

In the era of post-truth, objective reality is eclipsed by emotional resonance and personal belief. This paradigm shift dismantles the rational foundations of modernism, creating a self-referential universe where truth is no longer imitated, but entirely reinvented. Against the backdrop of this historic cultural rupture, the Istanbul Art Show examines the profound transformation of the creative landscape, questioning the role of art and the artist in a world where reality remains suspended.

This is what we feel: joy, then some disappointment, then the search for ourselves. 

Curated by Anton Valkovsky, the text outlines the conceptual philosophy of “Raise Your Head”, an exhibition born from the self-organized solidarity of young contemporary Ossetian artists responding to a lack of institutional support. Set beneath the dome of a former church, this multidisciplinary project navigates profound themes of social trauma, isolation, cultural memory, and identity construction as a process of collective healing and archiving. Drawing strength from traditional Ossetian practices of mutual aid to overcome feelings of isolation, the exhibition serves as a laboratory where artists transform silence into an intellectual act. Ultimately, it invites the viewer to physically and spiritually shift their perspective, to “Raise Your Head”, and bear witness to a shared hope in collective artistic creation.

International art’ALAN Photography and Painting Exhibition, curated by Irme Mamsirati, was held in the Contemporary Arts Center. Artworks of 23 photographers from the Russian Federation and 15 painters from Turkey were exhibited. The Russian Federation Foreign Ministry Representation in Turkey, President of the Russian Science and Culture Center Enver Sheykhov and Center's Representative Natig Guliev attended the opening cocktail of the exhibition.
