Collecting Point

‘Located in the most vibrant area of Istanbul, Platform Garanti acts as a catalyst for the dissemination, research and practice of contemporary art in the city. Platform contains an artist archive, research and lecture spaces, the Istanbul Residency Programme, and, on street level, a gallery space committed to exhibiting contemporary art from Turkey and abroad.

Since its inauguration in 2001 the growth of Platform’s library and archive has been almost entirely dependent on the donations of colleagues, friends and visitors. We now carry around 5,000 monographs, catalogues, periodicals, theory and philosophy books; as well as archives of over 140 artists from Turkey and a collection of over 300 international artist videos viewable in the institution.

Now, using funds made available to Platform from its participation in Frieze Projects 2006, we plan to expand and fill the missing gaps of our library and archive. A collecting point will be located in the Frieze Art Fair publications area, where our newly acquired publications will be displayed for reference. Anyone is welcome to donate additional artist files, art publications and other materials. At the end of the fair, the collection will be shipped to Istanbul where it will be made permanently available for public research at Platform.’
