I wish that in Turkey we had a better art supporting system.

Of course, you also need to live and we need to make things work and we need to run our studios and we need to make things continue [in] our lives. I alwas have been doing other things to support my art because i try [to] produce art at the edge so whatever i try to do it needs to be at the very edge. So i try to use the latest technology, i try to use some very political issues because i am interested in those issues. I try to [produce] work that is very cutting edge. And then, of course it is not easy to explain this to people - forget about selling this. Even explaining is a big issue. So i have always been doing other things to support my art. For example, i [have been] work[ing] in media for many years - i worked for advertising companies, pr agencies, television companies. And then, i have been teaching for many years - i teached in New York, i have been teaching in Istanbul but of course doing two things is not very easy. Doing a couple of things at the same time is a hard task because you need to shift totally the way you think.

You need contradicitions to produce art, especially conceptual art.

And of course i need some good materials - i need some good equipment, this means technical equipment and other equipment and cultural equipment.

[Working on interdisciplinary projects means that] you can meet with many interesting people - artists and non-artists.

And then i prefer to be in a creative environment which is: you need to be with other artists, other creative people.

So the first thing - i wish peace for the world and peace for our minds, that is the first thing i need [to produce art].
