A place where the boundaries between art, labor, beauty, fashion, media, and communication are constantly reexplored. The gallery was founded in 1991 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Active for almost 20 years, Analix Forever is still presenting the most avant-garde and innovating international and Swiss creations.

At Contemporary Istanbul, Galerie koal will represent four young artists from Berlin - Arne Schreiber, Ingo Mittelstaedt, Jeanno Gaussi and Katinka Pilscheur.

Building Bridges - Australia China Art Foundation
In a project coordinated by the Australia China Art Foundation (ACAF) for the 10th anniversary of Contemporary Istanbul the fair will host Chinese artists and galleries in both private and public spaces. 

ACAF will focus on Chinese artists for CI 2015, bringing a diverse and sometimes challenging group of art works and experiences to Istanbul. The collaboration will, in the future, extend to Australian artists and will also bring artists from Turkey and the Middle East to China and Australia. 

The presentation at CI 2015 will include artists Shao Yinong and Mu Chen, Ling Jian (all presented by the Australia China Art Foundation), Aaajiao (presented by Leo Xu Projects, Shanghai), Tao Hui (presented by Aike Dellarco Gallery, Shanghai), Yang Xin and Zheng Jiang (both presented by Space Station Gallery, Beijing). And, will include a group show, "Parade,” curated by art critic Aimee Lin---the metaphor of "parade” represents the national collective imagination of China’s modernity, politically and socially. Inspired by Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of the 'carnivalesque' style of literature, the aim of this project is to build up another kind of parade: the artistic parade of individual voices.
