Graduated from the sculpture department of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Evrim Kavcar (1976, İstanbul) received her MFA from San Francisco Art Institute on a Fulbright scholarship, and PhD from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. She studied Foto-Film and animation at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Kavcar’s practice makes use of tracings, moulds and casts, as well as interviews, visual and sound recordings while studying selected situations/moments to explore layers of memory and forms of relating. Taking off from the contradictions between facts and remembrances, her work arrives at a half-documentary approach where the gap between fact and fiction reveals what may have been overlooked. She was the recipient of an Istanbul – Berlin stipendium at nGbk Berlin for six months in 2018. Since 2018 she has been collaborating with Elif Öner in Sensitive Sounds, an open-ended artwork that traces the subjective, social and cultural layers of sound through multiple forms. As an artist academician, she has been teaching at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Mardin Artuklu University since 2013.
