Arter, a prominent art center in Istanbul's Dolapdere district, is presenting two major art exhibitions this summer to delight art enthusiasts and fans of contemporary art.

One of them is a joint exhibition titled "Precaution," featuring 13 works by 11 artists in the Arter Collection.

The curtain has come down on the Turkish pavilion at the 56th Venice biennale following a six-month festival of art.

Turkey's entry at the 56th International Art Exhibition, an installation titled "Respiro" by influential conceptual artist Sarkis, received great interest from local and international media as well as the art world.
