Artist Ergin Çavuşoğlu in conversation with Chair in Human Geography at Royal Holloway University, Professor Tim Cresswell
“The rich and mesmerising visual style of Çavuşoğlu’s video installations have attracted a lot of attention recently. His work has an intensity that sets it apart from the dominant documentary style of video or photo-based art.†Craig Burnett, The Guardian
This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the work of Ergin Çavuşoğlu. Raised in Bulgaria as part of the Turkish minority and now based in London, Çavuşoğlu draws on his personal experience of migration to create video works which are meditations on the contingent borders between ‘old’ and ‘new’ Europe.
His most recent exhibition Point of Departure transforms the mundane activities of Stansted and Trabzon airports into strange, beautiful and unsettling frontier points.
Çavuşoğlu was short-listed for the Beck's Futures Prize in 2004 and exhibits in the British Art Show 6 which tours to Bristol in summer 2006. The artist’s talk and excerpts from recent works will be followed by a response from Professor Tim Cresswell, a human geographer and incumbent Chair of Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. Tim Cresswell has authored four books on the role of space and mobility in cultural life, including Place: A Short Introduction Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2004.
