SECANT SPACE +

Secant Space is an international curatorial platform and artist residency based in Istanbul, supporting research-based artistic practices and projects.

We work closely with artists from the early stages of a project, offering tailored curatorial support from research and critical dialogue to project development, professional connections and practical logistics. Our activities include artist residencies, exhibitions, international collaborations and individual curatorial consulting.

If you are developing a project, looking for an artist residency in Istanbul, or seeking professional curatorial feedback on your practice, discover our residency programme, current projects and curatorial consulting.
