Seminar: Total Installation

Speaker: Ferhat Özgür

Time: 18:00-19:30

Based on the concept of “Total Installation”, developed by Ilya Kabakov (1933-2023), a pionering Ukrainian conceptual artist, Ferhat Özgür, within the framework of Western and Eastern approach, will dwell upon the relationship between the object and the space surrounding it, thereby eloborating his own installation practices realized both at home and abroad in this concept. Thus, the artist will try to clarify the term of “Total Installation” enriched by visual supplements.

Alongside solo projects in The Pill, Merdiven Art Space, Yapı Kredi Kazım Taşkent Art Gallery, American Hospital Operation Room and Bilsart and Gallery Nev etc, he has numerous institutional solo projects abroad such as MoMA PS1, National Museum of Denmark, Marabouparken-Sweden, Michigan University Museum of Art. Taking part in various biennales including Biennale Sur, Mercosul, Istanbul, Busan, Mardin, Sinop and Çanakkale, Özgür’s work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, screenings, festivals held in IMMA-Dublin, MUMOK-Vienna, Mattress Factory Museum of Art-Pittsburgh, Museum der Moderne-Salzburg, Center George Pompidou-Paris, Künstlerhaus Palais Thurn und Taxis, ARTER, Istanbul Modern amongst others.
