简介

Can Altay (b. 1975, Ankara, Turkey) is an artist living in Istanbul, Turkey.

His installations of videos, mappings, books and photographs incorporate different forms of research of the urban environment. Altay studies improvised architectures in the city, as well as hidden structures of support, unauthorized systems of organization and models of co-habitation. He further investigates the production of ideas and notions of public space through “setting a setting,” a body of works where he proposes spaces and constructs for gatherings. The clashes and overlaps between function and meaning, and unpredictable reconfigurations within systems remain to be some of his main interests.

Altay has had solo exhibitions at The Showroom, London (2010), Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (2008), Sala Rekalde, Bilbao (2006) and Spike Island, Bristol (2007). His work has been included in biennials in Istanbul (2003), Havana (2003), Gwangju (2008), Taipei (2010); and in museums and galleries such as the Walker Art Center (USA), VanAbbe Museum (Netherlands), ZKM (Germany), P.S.1 MoMA (USA), and Platform Garanti (Turkey).

He is editor of Ahali: A Journal for Setting a Setting. Altay also lectures internationally and writes. He received his Ph.D. in art, design, and architecture from Bilkent University (2004), where he also completed his  MFA and BFA degrees, in addition to his degree in Critical Studies from Malmö Art Academy and Lund University, Sweden.

Can Altay is represented by Arcade
