Burak Delier is known for his creative experiments built around the concept of economy, in a way and scale that is not common in the art scene in Turkey. Delier is also known for his ongoing interest in the place of power in today’s cultural system and socio-political environment and is one of the major examples of a politically critical contemporary art attitude to art in Turkey since 2000. He uses various mediums, from radio broadcasting to corporate surveys or guerilla-style street performances and works with papermen, precarious workers, immigrants and the employees of art institutions.
