I joined the Top Transdisciplinary Project Space in January 2017 and I have been collaborating with our collective members as well as external partners, artists, and scientists for various events and exhibitions. I have a specific interest in collectives, initiatives, and project spaces in general. But I did not have any specific idea to start doing this interview series until Julia from Keith F’em asked me to contribute to their online radio. So that’s how Art Next Door radio show and podcast project started in mid-July, 2020.
I have to share this disclaimer though… Of course, I had the idea of featuring TOP at some point, so this episode coincides with my upcoming project at TOP, scarecrow, a collaboration with my partner Korhan Erel. So this episode is very personal.
Due to the lockdown in November, this project cannot be opened to public visits. The project is documented and visible on YouTube.
