Yeşim Akdeniz (b. 1978) graduated from Art Academy Düsseldorf in 2002. She was invited by deAteliers Residency Program in Amsterdam in 2002 until 2004 and won the Kunstverein Bonn/Peter Mertes Stipendium in 2005.
Yeşim Akdeniz opened her first solo exhibition in Turkey in 2005 at Galerist with the title 'Atlas Shrugged' and has participated in exhibitions at many institutions such as Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Kunstverein Frankfurt, Sammlung Philara, Düsseldorf, Kunstverein Bielefeld. Yeşim's works contain symbolic narratives in which the emergence of the foundations of modernism and its related policies and the forms of cultural production associated with them are used. Yeşim, who frequently uses modernist architectural and design elements and art historical references in her works, seeks answers to how these designs evolved over time.
The artist currently lives and works between Brussels and Düsseldorf.
