Episode 8 features a viewing of the ÜBerlin tower in Steglitz with the excellent Semâ Bekirović, an artist based in Amsterdam who I met whilst she was in residence at ZK/U in Berlin. We talk about her new book 'Reading by Osmosis: Nature Interprets Man', which is the most recent outcome of an ongoing project that explores the idea of non-human art production; as well as taking trees on international flights, and the depressing new life of Berlin’s famous Tacheles squat (which I will be re-visiting in detail in the new year). COOL.
Semâ studied at the Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Her work has been exhibited at De Appel (Amsterdam), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Hayward Gallery Project Space (London), Dutch Culture Institute (Shanghai) and on Times Square (NYC).
