"In front of an object whose function you did not know, but which you knew you could understand if you made the effort, you sometimes preferred to remain at the stage of speculation and spectacle, as when you basked in front of a beautiful landscape: to see it from a distance was enough for you;

you didn't need to walk through."

- Excerpt from “Suicide” by Édouard Levé.

bio

In Sevil Tunaboylu’s practice, exercises on the cohabitation of objects she encounters and off-frame portraits whose witnessed traces take center stage. As part of her research methodology, Tunaboylu examines her subjects by continuously repositioning them in different contexts and opening a space for transitioning from painting to sculpture. She received her BA in painting from the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in 2005. As one of the founders, she co-managed the non-profit initiative Mtaär Open Art Space between 2008 and 2010. As a member of the feminist collective Alaca Heyheyler, she organizes exhibitions and workshops and produces artist publications. She has been working as a visual arts instructor since 2007. She lives and works in Istanbul.
