Organised by the International Art Galleries Association, Istanbul, the fair focuses on fostering intergallery collaboration and collective modes of production. For Art Show 2026, Dirimart adopts a process-oriented working method that moves beyond conventional presentation formats. Each day, the gallery presents a renewed exhibition configuration shaped through curatorial frameworks initiated by members of the Dirimart team. Daily working groups establish conceptual and intellectual connections between the practices of two artists, creating temporary yet concentrated spaces for dialogue. This approach considers exhibition-making not merely as a mode of display, but as a process of collective thinking and collaborative production. Throughout the fair, teams composed of Artist Relations, Corporate Communications, and Gallery Assistants have developed distinct daily selections. In this way, Art Show 2026 becomes a shared platform in which not only the artists, but the gallery’s entire organisational structure is made visible. The daily pairings approach the artists’ practices not through a fixed narrative, but through readings that unfold and transform over time. Throughout the fair, visitors encounter a different curatorial perspective each day, inviting them to reconsider their relationship with contemporary art.
