About Me
I am an art historian and curator. I hold a PhD in Art History from Technische Universität Berlin. My research spans art and anthropology, eco-art practices, and global art narratives. I conducted postdoctoral research at global dis:connect - Käte Hamburger Research Centre and Kunsthistorisches Institut Florenz - Max Planck-Institut.
I curated the exhibitions Shifting Patterns, Kunstverein Tiergarten, Berlin, 2020; and Up in Arms, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin, 2019. I have teaching experience at Technische Universität Berlin and University of Zurich. I live and work in Berlin.
Transitional Territories
My recent book is Transitional Territories (2022). I investigate art practices between art and anthropology in Turkey, as well as the implications of contemporary art for those disciplines. I discuss various approaches based on anthropological theories on the forms of relation and theories of artistic practices on socio-political issues.
Based on long-term research with contemporary artists such as Nil Yalter, Gülsün Karamustafa, Esra Ersen, Kutlug Ataman, Tayfun Serttas, Köken Ergun, Dilek Winchester and Artikisler Collective, this book analyzes the objectives of art and anthropology in order to determine new possibilities and divergences arising from this interdisciplinary confluence.
