Ayşe Erkmen discusses her artistic journey, her approach to freedom, and her unique creative process in an artist talk featured on Louisiana Channel, a web-TV channel based at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. In the interview, Erkmen shares how working as a sculptor in a time when contemporary art had very little recognition in Turkey had its challenges, but at the same time, it paradoxically gave her the liberty to create. She talks about her works and installations, both small and large-scale, with political connotations. The artist also outlines the distinctive position of women artists in Turkey and reflects thoughtfully on their contribution to the art world. You can access the conversation via the YouTube link.
