Through an expanded painting practice, Elif Saydam implements the language of ornamentation and embellishment to rearrange systems of value and emphasis. A key area of interest is how decoration and its gestures inform our political imagination and constructions of modernity.
Recent solo and group exhibitions include Eviction Notice at Oakville Galleries, Canada; ...schläft sich durch at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Hamburg; Die Wissen at TAXISPALAIS Kunsthalle Tirol, Innsbruck; Lose Enden at Kunsthalle Bern; and F*rgiveness at Tanya Leighton, Berlin. Saydam lives and works between Berlin and Izmir, Turkey.
