RESIDENCY 11:11
Hot Doodles — Semâ Bekirović
29th November 2018


An evening on artworks with agency, non human art making, osmotic processes, and forensic experiments. As part of her stay at Residency 11:11, artist and curator Semâ Bekirović gave a presentation at Playground London. She talked about her past projects, her current research and works in progress.


“Bekirovic’s work is best described as playful conceptualism. Like reality, it’s a universe of temporary constellations wherein objects, people, animals and/or chemical reactions trigger one another into acting out their parts in a play directed by coincidence. Bekirovic creates a field of tension between the parameters she defines and her subject’s personal agenda. She eschews a hands-on, interfering approach, allowing her subject to co-author the work.”
