“My artistic practice is dependent on its context. I define context here both as the
`the given` and `the created`. I deal with the material's conditions of existence
in its meaning and its physical appearance. When working with an already established
setting, I plan my interventions to first create distance and then shift perceptions.”
İstanbul based artist Deniz Gül uses photography, installation, video, text and
sound to create interactive works of art. After receieving her BA in Visual Arts and
Communication Design she has participated in various exhibitions, workshops, projects, and
artist talks including KHOJ (India, 2005), Going Public (Italy, 2006), Sidewalkcinema
(Austria, 2007). Her works have also been shown in group exhibitions in Turkey at venues
such as Borusan Art, Aksanat and Gallery Nev. Her most recent works focus on creating
environments which engage with the viewers behavior. She is also an editor for design and
architecture magazine icon (TR) since March 2007, where she finds the oppurtunity to
observe ties between design, architecture, urban life and art.
