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 Detroit, USA, her work as an artist is based on interaction, creating site-specific experiences. After a three-year nomadic life - working in New Delih, Berlin, Salzburg, Amsterdam and Athens, she moved to Istanbul in 2006. There she continued her art practice, initiating projects such as the Virtual Chef – an trans-locational interactive cooking experience. She is the co-director and initiator of Caravansarai, an independent project space and meeting point in Istanbul, a collaborative production space and artist-residency.
