Introducing Asli Seven: Curatorial Team of the 9th Asian Art Biennial

As we conclude our introduction of the curatorial team for the 9th Asian Art Biennial, we turn to Asli Seven, an independent researcher, curator, and writer based between Istanbul and Paris. Her practice operates on the borderline between fiction and reality, with a focus on infrastructure, landscape, and alternative pedagogies. She emphasizes methods of fieldwork and co-creation in her curatorial approach.

Among her recent exhibitions are “Under Two Suns,” a selection of 66 works by 45 artists from Odunpazari Modern Museum’s collection (Odunpazari Modern Museum, Eskisehir, 2023-2024); “[ELEKTROIZOLASYON]: Unknown Parameter Extro-Record,” a solo exhibition by Emre Hüner curated at Arter Museum (Istanbul, 2021-2022); and “Live Among and Turn Together,” a group exhibition and performance series curated at Galerie La Box (Bourges, 2021).

Since 2020, Seven has been a guest lecturer for MFA students at MoCo ESBA Montpellier, France, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, where she covers fiction and fictionality in contemporary art production. She emphasizes the emergence of narrative, organic, and systemic forms in exhibitions. Seven holds a doctoral degree in Artistic Research from ENSA Bourges and EESI Poitiers-Angoulême and a Research MA in Political Science from Université Paris 1 – Sorbonne. She is a member of AICA (International Association of Art Critics), C-E-A (French Association for Curators), and an alumna of Independent Curators International (ICI) through her participation in the Curatorial Intensive in the Philippines (2016).

Join the Conversation

To have the possibility to hear and discuss with the individuals behind biennials has been a key component of what we believe IBA can offer to our members and the wider public and we value your participation through our live streams. As always IBA Stage events are meant as a moment to hear about a project through its makers and have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
