Movement and Motivation

The latest installation of Rios Clementi Hale’s Alley Fellowship, a partnership with A+D Museum which aims to support cross-disciplinary emerging artists. Berfin Ataman, this round’s Alley Fellow, presents Movement and Motivation, a survey of the artist’s works from wearables to kinetic sculptures that explore the internal and external perceptions of movement as they relate to the body, space, and non-human objects. Berfin Ataman’s work challenges audiences to move beyond the surface of the concrete world to dig for empathy and meaning. Her work centers on challenging participants to expand their horizons and reevaluate the concrete world that consumes them. She is currently earning her MFA at UCLA.
