Weissella

I am very pleased that the Myco Magazine has re-printed my essay Weissella for their inaugural issue. This text is from the Museum of Exhalation, the publication I edited as part of my contribution to the 17th Istanbul Biennial. Many thanks to Katya Bloomberg for the invite.

I am still looking for a publisher who would re-print and circulate Museum of Exhalation with new contributions. Please let me know if you have any leads.

New Publication

I am really happy to participate in Post—Normal Design: Emergent approaches towards plural worlds, a volume edited by Alastair Fuad-Luke for the Porto Design Biennial. The essay is called “Where Do Gardens Come From?” This text is also the basis of the video essay with the same title. More information here.

Foundry Engineering at Ecovative

I wrote a blog post explaining our work as the Foundry Engineering team at Ecovative. It has been a great experience to work with such a talented group to build a Mycelium Biomaterial Research Platform.

17th Istanbul Biennial Review

I am grateful to be included in Art Net’s review of the biennial. This edition of the biennial is certainly quite unconventional; taking many conceptual, aesthetic, and political risks. I believe it will garner a lot of attention.

Turkish readers may also enjoy Alem magazine’s interview, which allowed me to expand on the conceptual background of the work.
