	Tate Britain \| Turner Prize
		Kultug Ataman was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1961 and graduated with a BA in film from the University of California, USA in 1985.
		Ataman’s films reveal that all documentary is a narrative and that all narratives are constructed: ‘All narratives, hence all lives, are in the end created as art by the subject’.
		Kutlug Ataman has been shortlisted for his contribution to the Istanbul Biennial 2003 and to exhibitions at a number of European venues in 2003-4.

		And in 'Women Who Wear Wigs' - the piece that Ataman showed at his debut New York exhibition in February 2001 - four films are shown side by side featuring a wanted terrorist, a Turkish journalist, a Muslim student and a transsexual prostitute who all wear wigs.
		Ataman's work was then picked up for the 1999 Venice Biennale and, earlier this year, the grand-daddy of all art shows, Documenta, came calling.
		Ataman's work also features in the group shows Days Like These at Tate Britain and Witness at the Barbican from 13 February to 27 April.

		Ataman, though, rejects any opposition between the centre and the margins of society.
		Ataman's subjects speak, act out, and so 'construct' their own life-story to a close-up, hand-held camera.
		Kutlug Ataman has been nominated for the works featured here and for other works that have appeared in the Istanbul Eighth Biennale and in various European exhibitions including 'Long Streams' at the Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center, Copenhagen (2002) and at the Serpentine Gallery, London (2003).

	The Daily Star - Arts & Culture - Kutlug Ataman: Out of Istanbul, a star is born
		At 43, Ataman is the first Turkish artist ever invited to show in the main exhibition of the Venice Biennale, participate in Documenta, create work for the Carnegie International and have his art ensconced in New York's Museum of Modern Art.
		Ataman speaks of creating "parallax" views in his artwork, of questioning the existence of objective reality, of picking apart the fabrications we make of identity and gender.
		Ataman, who is openly gay, says it's difficult to guess how his works - with their themes of sexual identity and explorations of what conservatives would call deviant lifestyles - might be received locally, but he's sure it's a matter of venue, not material.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts critics \| Kuba by Kutlug Ataman, Sorting Office, New Oxford Street, London
		Ataman spent more than two years getting to know the wary, suspicious inhabitants of this illegal, mostly Kurdish neighbourhood, and filming them talk.
		The longer you listen, and the more you meander from chair to chair, the more you gather that these stories are entwined, in betrothals and blood feuds, jail-time and dead time, which the unemployed men spend in makeshift coffee houses, the women stuck with their kids, or waiting outside the prisons for their husbands' return.
		Ataman told the Guardian recently that Kuba is his rejoinder to a show like The Turks at the Royal Academy.

	MCA \| Museum of Contemporary Art \| Current Exhibitions, Exhibitions & Events
		Ataman’s films are portraits of individuals who live on the peripheries of society, defined by ghetto life, peculiar obsessions or transgressive sexualities.
		The stories are bound together by Ataman’s open style of filming which allows each person to speak freely and without interference.
		A special feature of this exhibition is Ataman’s new work Küba commissioned by Artangel, London and co-produced in partnership with the MCA and selected European/American venues.

		What brings these women together is that they have had to wear a wig at some point of their lives: to hide, to suppress, or to confirm their identity.
		Ataman's video installation forms a room of enlarged faces and sounds, all enacting together to create a cacophony of realities, a stream of questions as to identity, gender, ethics, religion - and how we confront these issues today.
		The women who have had to wear wigs are projected on to four separate screens: the ways in which they tell their story - sometimes looking directly at, sometimes, looking away from the camera - contributes to the underlying theme of the work.

		Kutlug Ataman's Kuba installed in an abandoned warehouse in London.
		United by a proud defiance of the state, the army and, in particular, the police, their enclave, according to Turkish artist Kutlug Ataman, who has spent more than two years filming their monologues, is 'first and foremost a state of mind'.

		Kutlug Ataman was born in Turkey in 1961 and currently divides his time between London, Barcelona and Instanbul.
		A single screen shows Kutlug’s interview with the first Turkish opera singer Semiha Berskoy, at 87 years of age, who recounts some of the most dramatic episodes of her life, including her family history, operatic career and later experiments in painting.
		Ataman had no idea how and where the piece would be shown initially and was surprised when it was received well by European gallerists following its exhibition at the Istanbul Biennale.

	Art Journal: What the structure defines: an interview with Kutlug Ataman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kutlug Ataman's hybrid films set oral tradition in opposition to history.
		They embody the postmodern interpretation of history as a popular consensus on facts instead of a "hard science." History is founded on fragile variables, and Ataman's films reinforce the powerful influence and impact of individual subjectivity on our notion of collective history.
		The people Ataman films are largely disenfranchised and disempowered, but by claiming the protected authority of historians or biographers, they rewrite their conditions through poetic expression.

		The result is described by Ataman as a “parallax view” — a formal expression of her parallel situation as a transvestite.
		In a constant stream of chatter (Ataman edits out his questions and directives for the most part), Veronica portrays a world in which she and her vast population of Hippeastrum live together.
		Ataman’s fascination lies with her oscillating identity as a Turkish Cypriot living in an island divided since 1974.

	Jo Higgins — Kutlug Ataman: Perfect Strangers - State of the Arts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kutlug Ataman is an artist whose works re-determine a number of significant art historical and filmic conventions.
		Perfect Strangers is one of the largest surveys of Ataman’s work to date and given that the works are all installation-based film pieces that operate – deliberately – with a complete disregard for notions of narrative and time, this is not an exhibition to see on your lunch break.
		Ataman is a storyteller and his practice is driven by a fascination with the way we, as humans, tell stories and express our own truths.

	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - ART
		In Kutlug Ataman’s fourth show at Lehmann Maupin he constructs a dynamic video portrait of Stefan Naumann, a young German man obsessed with moths.
		In Stefan’s Room, Ataman moves away from external social issues to focus instead on an unusual private subculture, and the result is a compelling new take on the personal portrait.
		Ataman’s staging creates a cinematic experience, and his work is meant to be experienced as a dynamic movie—sort of a visual surround sound—rather than a single element of a larger installation.

	E-Flux : Kutlug Ataman in Antwerp - (2006-03-10)
		Film and video installation maker Kutlug Ataman, who studied film in Paris and Los Angeles, was one of the revelations of the last Documenta, was short listed for the Turner Prize in 2004 and with Küba won the prestigious Carnegie prize.
		The materials gathered in the exhibition all acknowledge that the surface of Istanbul is rife with contradictions between modernity and traditionalism, between divergent cultural groups, between conflicting desires and that each layer of this skin is in dialogue with the others.
		Ataman went in search of the origin and actuality of Küba, letting forty residents speak at length.

	Henry Thornton - beautiful things - now and coming
		Kutlug Ataman has built his style out of the interview era.
		Fascinated with the ways in which people tell their own stories, Ataman’s film-based museum installations are portraits of individuals who live on the peripheries of society, defined by ghetto life, peculiar obsessions or transgressive sexualities.
		Ataman’s museum works explore the ways in which we attempt to build our identity in words, how we explain ourselves and how we draw on both fact and fiction to create a sense of who we are that adequately sums us up for others.

		It was held at the occasion of the opening of the exhibition curated by Rogoff "De-regulation with the work of Kutlug Ataman" which is shown in MUHKA Antwerp, from March 16 till May 28 2006.
		What I've always found extremely interesting about Kutlug's work is that at its heart is the huge project of talking, about self-empowerment in a particular way, about what I would call "the address".
		When you use the word address in English also in French what you mean is that you have something to say, a voice to say it in, a narrative to say it in and there is someone being addressed, it's a partnership.

	Artnews.info Munich: Kutlug Ataman at Pinakothek der Moderne
		The video installation »The 4 Seasons of Veronica Read« from Kutlug Ataman (*1961) wends a path directly to the botanical workings of an unusual woman in a London suburb.
		Ataman¿s sensitive portrait consists of four screens that are combined in such a way, that they make up a small, square space, which can be entered.
		Projected on the screens, all the films are shown in sync, so that it is practically impossible once inside the space to separate out the simultaneous cycles of the plant breeding and to perceive them individually.
