Established in 1895, la Biennale di Venezia has for over a century been one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Turkey participated in the International Art Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia for the first time in 1991. In 2014, on the initiation of the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) and with the gracious support of 21 sponsors, Turkey obtained a long-term venue in la Biennale di Venezia. The allotment of 20 years (from 2014 to 2034) at Sale d’Armi, Arsenale, one of the two main venues of the event, allowed the Pavilion of Turkey to take part for the first time in 2014 in the International Architecture Exhibition.
Previous projects took place at the Pavilion of Turkey for the International Architecture Exhibition were as follows:
2014 (14th) / Places of Memory
2016 (15th) / Darzanà: Two Arsenals, One Vessel
2018 (16th) / The Shift / Vardiya
