Museum purchase, Fowler McCormick, Class of 1921, Fund 2011-26  © 2009 Emre HünerEmre Hüner (Turkish, born 1977) was included in the Princeton University Art Museum’s 2010 exhibition Nobody’s Property: Art, Land, Space, 2000–2010. Hüner works across a wide range of media—from video and animation to drawing and sculpture—and weaves together imagery drawn from both popular and archival sources. These exercises in sampling and recontextualization result in narratives that explore subjects such as utopia, technology, modernity, and the natural and built environment. Hüner’s work has been featured in dozens of solo and group exhibitions, including Manifesta 9 (2012), in Genk, Belgium, the New Museum’s inaugural triennial, Generational: Younger than Jesus (2009), the sixth Asia Pacific Triennial (2009), in Brisbane, Australia, and the tenth International Istanbul Biennial (2007).
