Ahmet Öğüt


  • Turkish artist living and working in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Istanbul
  • Conceptual artist working across a broad range of media including video, photography, installation, drawing and printed media
  • Examines everyday happenstance, modes of behaviour and informal gestures which bear witness to broader global social and political structures
  • Employs a dark yet empathetic sense of humour to provoke political consciousness
  • Boycotted 19th Biennale of Sydney but decided to exhibit after ties with Transifeld were severed
