Concordia Rhapsody Group Exhibition Opens at Anna Laudel Istanbul
"Concordia Rhapsody," an exhibition at Anna Laudel in Istanbul, showcases the artistic creations of Ardan Özmenoğlu, Beate Passow, Cem Sonel, Thomas Werner, and Sinem Altan. These artists participated in the International Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia residency in Bamberg, Germany, from 2025 to 2026. This exhibition marks their inaugural display in Istanbul, featuring works reflecting on themes of memory and identity. Özmenoğlu's paper constructs and Sonel's multimedia presentations explore these concepts, while Passow's textiles address socio-political critiques. The show will be available for viewing until June 28, 2026, before moving to Anna Laudel Ankara and the Internationales Künstlerhaus Villa Concordia.
