[ Tutors profile ]

Helena Waldmann:
Director and choreographer living in Berlin. In her research in the field of the gaze, she moved the audience directly next to the stage; as a result, works such as 'Die Krankheit Tod', or 'CheshireCat', created between 1993 and 1999, were internationally acclaimed. Since 2000, her works are creating a worldwide stir as political avant-garde theatre, dealing with the themes of exile and immigration, as seen in "Return to Sender", her commentary on European immigration policy, formulated by six exiled Iranian women.

Vasif Kortun:
Born in 1958. Founded in 2001 the Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center (Turkey),　whose he is the current director. In 2002-2003, he curated many seminal exhibitions of　Turkish artists at Proje4L, Istanbul Museum of Contemporary Art. In 1992, he was chief　curator at the Istanbul Bienniale, and in 2005 curator at the same Bienniale, as well as,　among others, the Bienniales of São Paulo and Taipei.
