My Take
Genco Gülan is the rare artist whose résumé refuses to sit still, sculpture, painting, photography, choreography, new media, all at once. Trained in media and communication in New York, he probes how technology reshapes identity and how we talk to one another, which is exactly the kind of restless inquiry I find compelling. That a boundary-dissolving conceptual artist should emerge from Istanbul, a city where East and West have always rubbed against each other, feels almost inevitable to me. I am drawn to people who refuse to be filed under a single label. I would happily spend an afternoon inside his head.
