Interview with Ahmet Ögüt

While in Europe I've been working on this project called Check-In Architecture (making videos, writing essays, conducting interviews, maintaining a second blog, travelling incessantly, etc), I've been a bit lazy about posting the details but I'll get to that sometime in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I did an interview with an artist I found really compelling at the Berlin Biennial named Ahmet Ögüt. Ahmet himself goes into a lot of the background information about his projects and practice, so I'll let him do the talking on this one.
