Ahmet Öğüt (born 1981 in Diyarbakır, Turkey) is a conceptual artist living and working in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Berlin, Germany. He works with a broad range of media including video, photography, installation, drawing and printed media.

Education

Ahmet Öğüt received his BA from the Fine Arts Faculty of Hacettepe University, Ankara, in 2003, and his MFA from the Art and Design Faculty of Yıldız Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2006.

Career

In 2009, Ahmet Öğüt represented Turkey with Banu Cennetoğlu at the 53rd Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy.[2] [3] [4]

He is the founder of 'The Silent University', a programme for and with asylum seekers, refugees and migrants to give and take courses. Parts of the participative project were hosted between 2012 and 2013 at Tate Modern, Delfina Foundation, and The Showroom in London, UK.[5] [6] [7]

In 2020, Öğüt had a solo exhibition at Yarat Contemporary Art Space in Baku, Azerbaijan. Due to the institution's use of the exhibition banner as a propaganda means in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he asked for his exhibition to be taken down.[8] [9] [10]
