Margarita Marrezi

I was born in 1992 into a culturally diverse family from Eastern Europe that has finally settled in Istanbul during the gloomy atmosphere of the 1930s. Thus spent most of my life learning and appreciating diverse cultural and artistic practices. After travels in Turkey and Europe chasing museums, galleries and events and had lived in Italy for a period I am currently based in Istanbul, working as a freelance Content Creator.

My work I could say bases on a quotation from an acclaimed Turkish poet, Gülten Akın; "Oh, no one’s got the time to stop’n give thought to fine things". With my practice I am trying to gain the habit of examining those fine things our lives offers each day, to notice and represent the thin lines in between various meanings and 'ways of seeing' (Berger,1972) by experimenting with representation through looking at things from peculiar angles and ascribe visibility to underrated details.

Received her first unofficial trainings on visual culture and artistic practice through the artists and artisans in her family and their friend circles. Prior to obtaining her MA degree at the department of Arts and Cultural Management, she participated in lectures, summer schools, conferences and internships on the areas of fine art practice, art history, museum studies, cultural heritage and various other humanities subjects to enhance her perception with multi-disciplined knowledge. During her university years she has been awarded many grants to access further education including a National Achievement Scholarship that enabled her to enroll to a private liberal college and two EU Scholarships that helped her to attend lectures as a guest student in two different European countries
