Merve Ertufan [Turky]

2010.07.15 - 2010.07.25

Turksh artist Merve Ertufan (born Istanbul, 1985) uses personal experience as the subject of her work. Using video and other media, her installations which are often autobiographical in nature deal with the difficulties and shortcomings of communication.
Selected as winner of the Res Artis Award at the Biennial of Young Artists from Europe held in Macedonia in 2009 (nine young artists under 30 were selected out of over 700 participants), Ertufan has been given a two-month fully-funded residency at Youkobo Art Space where she will enjoy an invaluable opportunity to refine her art practice while taking inspiration from the diverse culture that is on offer in Tokyo.
