Istanbul Modern hosts the fourth exhibition of the VitrA Contemporary Architecture Series, a collaboration of VitrA and the Turkish Association of Architects in Private Practice. The project series, which has centered on commercial, touristic, and educational buildings in the past, continues to document and discuss the contemporary architectural milieu in Turkey, and to create the basis for new works by focusing on different types of buildings.

​“Caution! Slippery Ground” is an exhibition that addresses the nature of architects and architecture: an introversive nature that communicates only with itself and holds on unwaveringly to a certain ground. Based on this perspective, the exhibition uncovers symbols and rituals of architectural culture on the one hand, while on the other, it demonstrates that there may exist additional structures lying outside this static received wisdom. This exhibition is a reminder that architecture and architectural culture, instead of being isolated in an ivory tower with a vague location, are always alive and constitute a part of daily life, with everyone participating in this cultural milieu as producers and consumers.
