Cevdet Erek’s
(1974, Istanbul) work is characterised by a marked use of rhythm and
site specificity.
Erek combines video, sound and images, often in an attempt to alter the
viewer’s perception and experience of a given space. The result
functions as a hypothesis, probing the viewer’s instinctive logic and
thus appealing to the senses. Interestingly, Erek manages to combine
rational components such as references to architecture and linear time
with instinctive impulses thereby levelling the gap between two
supposedly opposing spheres.
Cevdet Erek is visual artist and musician
living and working in Istanbul. Erek's installations, objects, videos
and performances have been shown at 8th Istanbul Biennial, Platform
Garanti, Stedelijk Museum, Tate Modern, Arter, Extra City and Artist
Space among others. Erek was on residency at the Rijksakademie in
Amsterdam in 2005 to 2006 and his installation Studio was awarded the
Uriot Prize. His book SSS – The Shore Scene Soundtrack was published by
BAS Artist Books - Istanbul in 2008. He holds a BA in Architecture and
MA in Sound, continues a PhD at ITU MIAM – Center for Advanced Studies
in Music.
