AHMET ÖGÜT
Ahmet Ögüt was born in 1981 in Diyarbakir, Turkey. He lives and works in Amsterdam and Istanbul. Ögüt graduated from the Painting Department of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 2003 and completed his MA at the Faculty of Art and Design at Yildiz Technical University in 2006. In 2010 Ögüt received the Kunstpreis Europas Zukunft from the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig. His work has been shown at the 5th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art (2008), the 53rd Venice Biennial (2009), the 12th Istanbul Biennial and 4th Moscow Biennial (2011). With his drawings, installations, performances and films Ahmet Ögüt reflects on movements, conflicts and innovations in the global economic and geo-political space. Ögüt always starts from or refers to his own well-defined context as a Turkish-Kurdish artist. He explores basic principles of time, distance and speed and uses humour and irony as an essential artistic strategy in his politico-cultural critical discourse.
