Profile Information

Biography: Julie Upmeyer is an artist and initiator based in Istanbul working with everyday materials and space: paper, plastic, food, the internet, her home, the street. Born in 1980 in Detroit, USA, her work as an artist has been highly influenced by this repurposing of everyday materials, with an emphasis on interaction and process-based practice. Curiosity lead her to work with Res Artis, the international network of artist residencies, and a three-year nomadic life - working in India, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and Greece.

Having been first invited to Istanbul, Turkey as an artist-in-resident in 2006, it is now a base for her artistic practice. She initiated Caravansarai in 2007, an independent project space and meeting point in Istanbul, an open exploration of the interactive possibilities of food, space and the internet.
