Sakıp Sabancı Museum has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the installation of Yoko Ono’s exhibition ‘İçses ve İçyapı’, presenting the project as a collaboration with Akbank and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. The museum’s post says the show has been prepared with great excitement and places Ono’s imagination and participation at the centre of her practice.
The announcement does not provide a venue-specific opening date, but it does confirm that ‘İçses ve İçyapı’ will remain on view until 27 December. No further curatorial details are included in the source material, but the museum’s framing points to the artist’s longstanding use of audience involvement as a core part of her work.
Ono is one of the best-known figures in contemporary art for works that invite viewers to complete, activate or inhabit the piece through instruction, action or reflection. Sakıp Sabancı Museum’s description aligns with that approach by highlighting imagination and participation rather than a single object-based display.
The museum’s post also emphasizes the installation process itself, offering a glimpse of the exhibition being assembled rather than a full interpretive statement. That emphasis suggests a public-facing effort to build anticipation around the show while underscoring the collaborative character of the project.
‘İçses ve İçyapı’ is presented as the result of institutional cooperation, with Akbank support and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía listed alongside the museum’s announcement. Beyond that, the verified source material keeps the focus tightly on the exhibition’s title, its making, and its run through late December.
