ISTANBUL http://www.montrealcanadiensteamstore.com/adidas-shea-weber-jersey , Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- A newly renovated and grand art complex was just opened on Istiklal Avenue, rekindling hopes for a revival of art and culture on the iconic pedestrian street at central Istanbul.
Following a four-year period of renovation, the Yapi Kredi Culture and Art Publishing House located across the historical Galatasaray High School in the middle of the avenue was formally opened on Wednesday to art enthusiasts and others.
For many, Istiklal or Independence Avenue has lost its intellectual soul and glory over the last five years, as most bookstores, movie theaters and art galleries have been shut down amid a sense of political uncertainty featuring a spate of deadly terror attacks and a failed coup attempt.
The area is now occupied by cosmetic shops and shopping malls appealing to rich Arab tourists but not in the radius of city intellectuals any more.
"We believe this building would play a crucial role in transforming the Istiklal Avenue into an outstanding center of attraction where art is a dominant feature once again," Tulay Gungen, head of Yapi Kredi Culture and Art Publishing House, told reporters at the opening ceremony.
With a unique transparent architectural design, the complex allows passersby to watch what are taking place inside as they walk by.
A well-known "Mediterranean" sculpture by Turkish artist Ilhan Koman depicting an embrace with love has been placed on the third floor, which can be seen saluting the pedestrians on the street behind a glass wall.
"The transparent side allows the building to intermingle with the city life," said Gungen. "And it is expected to attract anyone, even those who do not care for art and culture."
The new complex houses, among others, a library, a bookstore, exhibition areas, a museum, conference halls and studios for art performances, theatrical plays and movie screenings. The library offers over 80,000 volumes including 4,000 rare books.
"We will proclaim our return to Istiklal in the most and effective way possible," declared Gungen.
The complex is currently hosting a contemporary art exhibition, displaying a cornucopia of sculptures, paintings, photographs, video art and ancient coins. Many are expecting it to help revive Istiklal's once vibrant cultural life and bring back the old glorious days.
Photos being shared on social media are titled "Istiklal has not finished," while an article published on sanatatak voiced doubt by stating "The time will show how attainable this is."

In the past when people fell in love they usually courted one another or dated for awhile and then would become engaged, and would finally marry. This has been accepted as the standard for a very long time but now we are living in a much more liberal society where marriage and relationships are concerned and many are questioning if love and marriage always have to go together. Some find that they want marriage while others find that they can enjoy the love without having the marriage.
Some Want the Legality of Marriage
Many say the reason that you get married is to "make it legal" but others say that marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper saying that you belong to one another. It's true, when you are in a relationship that is bound together by a legal marriage little may actually change about the relationship other than a piece of paper that says that you are legally married. But, some like the idea that they are bound together legally. Some couples feel as though making it legal is making a statement to the world that they are ready to take that step because they know that they are right together while others simply like the security in knowing that someone cannot simply just walk away from the relationship. Making a relationship legal is a show of solidarity to some, while others believe that it cheapens their relationship.
Tradition Rings True
Many men and women simply want to stick with tradition. They meet, they fall in love, they want to be together, so they get married and that makes sense to them. There is nothing wrong with keeping with tradition if it makes sense to you and to a lot of people they simply continue with what their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents all did. It's not about legality as much as it is about societal standards and what you do when you love someone.
It Doesn't Have to Be That Way
Many couples are proving that love and marriage do not always have to go hand in hand. While some like the idea of making it legal and like to carry on with family tradition, others don't like the idea of marriage and traditions and they do away with them. There are millions of couples living together right now that are happy and in love and simply feel no need to prove those things with a wedding or a marriage. It works for them, and their relationship will likely last as long as those that get married. There are many couples out there that never get married and stay together, faithfully, all of their lives.
Marriage and love do not have to go together, there are examples everywhere you look. Whether you get married is really a personal preference, as it doesn't change the relationship. It just changes the legal status. If tradition and legal status are important to you, than a marriage is called for and can be a very special thing. If you are happy with your relationship the way it is and you see no need, then carry on!
