Pera Museum and Istanbul Research Institute Celebrate 150th Anniversary of Galatasaray High School with Two Exhibitions

Pera Museum and Istanbul Research Institute, two sister institutions of the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation operating in culture and arts, are presenting two separate exhibitions to art and history enthusiasts on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Galatasaray High School's founding. The "School Square Galatasaray" exhibition at Pera Museum brings together contemporary works related to the location, function, history and space of Galatasaray High School, while the "Window to the West: 150 Years of Galatasaray High School (1868-2018)" exhibition at Istanbul Research Institute reveals a comprehensive archive showcasing sections of the school's vision of educating qualified individuals since 1868. Pera Museum and Istanbul Research Institute are organizing two exhibitions that examine the 150-year history of Galatasaray High School, one of Turkey's most established educational institutions. The exhibitions, which will open to visitors on 14 September, examine Galatasaray High School from a broad perspective—from its structure and function to its location within the city, from its historical narrative to its alumni. The exhibitions aim to reveal the layered structure of Galatasaray High School while promoting its rediscovery and viewing from different perspectives.

Galatasaray High School and Galatasaray Square Through the Eyes of Contemporary Artists

The "School Square Galatasaray" exhibition, which can be seen at Pera Museum between 14 September – 25 November 2018, takes its name by reference to the building's deep history and school status, while also alluding to its relationship with Galatasaray Square, one of the public spaces embedded in Turkey's sociopolitical memory. The exhibition, which brings together works from various media including paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, video, sound and performance, most of which were specially created for the exhibition, is curated by Çelenk Bafra. The exhibition features works by Ali Kazma, Antonio Cosentino, Barış Göktürk, biriken (Melis Tezkan, Okan Urun), Burak Delier, Cemal Emden, Elvan Alpay, Hasan Deniz, Hera Büyüktaşçıyan, and Vahit Tuna. Curator Çelenk Bafra notes that the exhibition will allow Galatasaray High School, as a multi-layered space and educational institution, to be read from different angles through visual arts. He emphasizes that the perspective of the exhibition is enriched by the inclusion not only of Galatasaray High School alumni artists who translate their personal experiences into artistic practice, but also of artists who, though without a special connection to the school, examine from the square—from the outside—a structure that has belonged to the city for 150 years. According to Bafra, the "School Square Galatasaray" exhibition "seeks to bring what is inside the school into the "square" through artists' eyes and openly discuss it through art."

Comprehensive Archive Meets Visitors at Istanbul Research Institute

The "Window to the West: 150 Years of Galatasaray High School (1868-2018)" exhibition, which can be seen at Istanbul Research Institute between 14 September 2018 – 23 February 2019, aims to share the inspiration hidden in a rare account of autonomous institutionalization of a public institution. The exhibition, which presents the school's historical narrative and vision, comprises various original materials including photographs, films, ephemera compiled from the collections of Galatasaray High School and Galatasaray Museum as well as from alumni archives, and numerous objects used during different periods of the school. The exhibition is curated by İzzeddin Çalışlar. Curator İzzeddin Çalışlar notes that Galatasaray, described by Tevfik Fikret as a "window to the west," represents the entirety of educational institutions and a supporter of culture. He emphasizes that the institution was pioneering in the introduction and dissemination of modern education in our country and that through its educational model it set an example for many educational institutions. İzzeddin Çalışlar points out that under the leadership of capable administrators and teachers, the institution today possesses an impressive portfolio of alumni ranging from writers to painters, from journalists to accomplished actors, from musicians to academics, and from industrialists and businesspeople to politicians.
