Artist featured in The Heart’s Desire (October 3, 2026, to September 12, 2027)
Burçak Bingöl b. 1976, Görele, Türkiye; lives and works in Istanbul
Burçak Bingöl uses the processes of tracing, copying and re-forming, and constructs new configurations by deconstructing familiar representations. Within this culturally and personally charged scope of examination, her works emerge through a constant re-working of images, objects and forms, converging in a repetitive act where fiction and failure merge. As such, their architectural, sensorial and conceptual relations to space open up a research field of visual exploration.
Bingöl is an artist from Türkiye whose work has been featured in group exhibitions, notably at The Met – Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Frieze Sculpture in London, and the 15th Istanbul Biennial. Her works are held in major public and private collections, including The Met, MOCAK (Krakow), Istanbul Modern and the Salsali Private Museum (Dubai).
She has undertaken residencies at internationally recognized programs, including IASPIS (Stockholm), the Cité internationale des arts (Paris) and Porthmeor Studios (Cornwall). She has taught at Hacettepe University (Ankara, Türkiye) and Istanbul Technical University and was the founding artistic director of Zilberman Gallery (Istanbul, Türkiye). She currently serves on the advisory board of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Hacettepe University.
