Burçak Bingöl’s works explore notions of belonging, cultural heritage, identity, decoration and failure by blurring the boundaries between these seemingly distinct notions. Through her labor- intensive process of tracing, copying and re-forming, she adopts an analytical approach to new configurations. The works are psychological landscapes that hover between abstraction and representation, rejection and preservation that both embrace and disregard Eastern and Western traditions. Working with various mediums such as ceramics, drawings, video, photography and installation, Bingöl’s works are constant re-working of materials and objects to converge to a repetitive act where fiction and failure merges.

Burçak Bingöl (b.1976) Born in Görele, raised in Ankara, she lives and works in Istanbul. Her works are in many private and public collections in the US, Europe and the Middle and Far East including The Metropolitan Museum of Arts, New York.
