Asli Çavusoglu
Asli Çavusoglu is in residence at KADIST Paris from February to May 2020 to develop a project based on previous research she conducted on colors, extending her interest for their political histories towards the production of fabrics colored by naturally cultivated and fairly distributed vegetables, fruits and other edible plants. Asli Çavusoglu , born in 1982 in Istanbul, examines the way in which cultural and historical facts are transformed, represented, and interpreted by individuals. Working across various media, Çavusoglu often assumes the role of an interpreter, writer or facilitator in her projects in order to highlight the precarious and subjective nature of our shared histories. Recent solo shows include: With Just a Push of a Voice , MASS MoCA, Massachusetts (2020); The Place of Stone , New Museum, New York (2018); Red / Red , MATHAF Arab Museum of Modern Art, Qatar (2016); In Diverse Estimations Little Moscow, RISD Museum, Providence (2014); The Stones Talk , ARTER, Istanbul (2013); Murder in Three Acts , Delfina Foundation, London (2013).
