SERKAN OZKAYA
BIO—

Serkan Özkaya is renowned for his conceptual artworks encompassing sculpture, installation, video, and digital applications.

Among Özkaya’s recent endeavors are ni4ni, an immersive installation that transforms a human-sized mirror sphere into an eyeball using reflections; We Will Wait, a recreation of Marcel Duchamp’s Étant donnés installed in Duchamp’s New York studio, doubling as a camera obscura; An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in New York, which erases the division between inside and outside by covering walls with projections of the exterior scene; Mirage, featuring the shadow of a passenger airplane traversing the room every four minutes; and One and Three Pasta (in collaboration with George L. Legendre), where they designed 3D models of ninety-two pasta shapes based on Legendre’s mathematical equations. David (inspired by Michelangelo) is a gold-plated replica, twice the size of the original, displayed prominently on Main Street in Louisville.

Özkaya has authored and edited twelve publications, including PUBLIC ATTENDANT A to Z (Public, 2017), Double (Lars Muller, 2013), The Rise and Fall and Rise of David (21c Museum and Yapi Kredi, 2011), and Today Could Be a Day of Historical Importance (artwithoutwalls, 2010)
