İpek Burçak is an Istanbul-born and Berlin-based artist, working across a variety of media, including video, installation, sculpture, new media, performance, and artists’ books. Her process often results in world-building while exploring the entanglements between human and non-human beings, social space, anti-ableist approaches, and narratives hidden under technologies. In her installations, she searches for gritty aesthetics beyond the flat and clean visual language. İpek Burçak is the co-founder of the publishing collective Well Gedacht Publishing, where she co-produces artists’ publications in various forms in collaboration with other diasporic artists. Her works have been shown at different venues internationally such as Galerie im Turm in Berlin (2023), Alpha Nova & galerie futura Berlin (2023), SoMad in New York (2021), Depo Istanbul (2019), Kosminen in Helsinki (2019) and she was a fellow at artist residencies Anaïs Berck in Brussels (2022) and Andreas Züst Library in St. Anton, Switzerland (2021).
