Hera Büyüktaşcıyan
Hera Büyüktaşcıyan is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice looks at identity, space, memory and time through poetics and politics of invisibility. In her sculptures, site specific interventions, drawings and films, the artist often references urban and local myths, as well as specific architectural structures as the foundation for her works by closely observing their genealogies and the ways in which they shift and evolve over time. Born in Istanbul (1984), Büyüktaşcıyan graduated from Marmara University’s Fine Arts Faculty. Amongst selected local and international solo and group exhibitions that Büyüktaşcıyan has participated are at CIAP Vassiviere, Tate St.Ives, EMST National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, Tate Modern, 14th Gwangju Biennale, 3rd and 4th Autostrada Biennale, New Museum Triennial,Lahore Biennial, 1st Inaugural Toronto Biennial, 56th Venice Biennale National Pavilion of Armenia, The Jerusalem Show VII, MAXXI Museum in Rome, SALT Beyoğlu in Istanbul, and others.
