Fitzpatrick Gallery is pleased to present a sound performance by Leyla Yenirce, this Saturday, February 24th, at 6 pm, in Paris, marking the end of the artist’s residency at Cité Internationale des Arts, in Paris.
Leyla Yenirce is a multi-disciplinary artist working between video, installation, and performance. Her works deal with multi-layered themes such as cultural and medial structures of dominance. She often creates cinematic, staged works based on found footage that are politically and critically charged. A central aspect of her work is the deliberate use of sound.
Leyla Yenirce is currently based in Hamburg, Germany. Having graduated from the Hamburg University of Fine Arts, her first solo exhibition SO MUCH ENERGY took place at the Kunsthaus Hamburg in 2022. In 2024, Yenirce’s video work Being Stong is Hard was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The artist will also participate in group exhibitions at Museum Folkwang, Essen and Kunsthalle Münster, and perform at the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg. Among other notable institutions, Yenirce has exhibited at Haus der Kunst, Munich (2023); Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst, Leipzig (2023) and Halle für Kunst Lueneburg (2022).
