Çağla İlk is a curator and architect and has been invited by Münchner Kammerspiele to guest-curate this open call. In March 2023, Çağla İIk was appointed as the curator of the German contribution to the 60th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. Since 2020, she has been director of the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden together with Misal Adnan Yıldız. İlk works in theory and practice at the interface of architecture, visual arts, sound, and performance. She uses dramaturgy as a method of curating and integrates transdisciplinary approaches into her curatorial practice. Her exhibition methodology follows the idea of working with events and installations that change and make transitions visible, instead of static forms of exhibition making. İlk studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin and Mimar Sinan University Istanbul. She has curated numerous exhibitions, including the solo exhibitions Sarkis 7 Tage, 7 Nächte (2023), Jan St. Werner Space Synthesis (2023), Candice Breitz Whiteface (2023), Yvonne Rainer Hellzapoppin: What about the Bees? (2023), Jimmy Robert All dressed up and nowhere to go (2022/2023), and more.
