Co-Founder & Curator @ Mtaär Non-Profit Art Space, 2009 – 2010 • İstanbul
In collaboration with Sevil Tunaboylu, our long story artist initiative Mtaär was an unregistered, artist-fed, non-profit gallery space where we hosted monthly exhibitions of more than a hundred independent artists, collectives and diverse forms of art. The space quickly gained local appreciation and worldwide artist initiatives' interest. In 2010, Mtaar was shut down due to legal coverage avoidence policy. (T.A.Z.)
Founder & Curator @ Horaley Art Mag, 2007 – 2011 • İstanbul
Horaley was a monthly selection of visual works. It worked like, me announcing a context, collecting the works until the deadline and bam, a new issue! Contexts could be a word, a concept, an audio track, a poem, a short movie, etc..
Between the years 2007 and 2012, we've published 36 Horaley issues, showing more than 500 art pieces online. In year 2008, we have put up a real life exhibition with 41 artists showing their works in three different art venues of İstanbul .
Founder & Audial Curator @ ReftLight, 2009 – 2012 • İstanbul
Reftlight is a curated sound broadcast open to the participation of all musicians and sound artists. Every once in a while, announces a reference sound as the contextual focus of the upcoming issue.

ReftLight published five issues in collaboration with more than thirthy artists, has been featured by Radio Grenouille of Marseille / France in 2010. The same year provided audio content to İstanbul Soundshift Sound Art Festival.
