Ayşe Erkmen is represented with her artwork "Balkanık" (2003/2025) in the exhibition It's Just a Matter of Time. Deutsche Bank Collection in Dialogue. Not a conventional work of art, the cake - a traditional recipe that the artist has reinterpreted with her own instructions - combines ingredients from different cultures and thus symbolizes, among other things, transcultural exchange. During the exhibition, the cake will not only be on display in the PalaisPopulaire café, but will also be available for purchase.
The conceptual artist has been associated with Deutsche Bank's art program for decades; in 2001, for example, she realized the sensational project "Shipped Ships" in Frankfurt am Main for Deutsche Bank's art series "Moment - Temporary Art in Public Space". Artworks by Ayşe Erkem are part of the Deutsche Bank Collection.
As part of the current exhibition, Liberty Adrien, co-curator of the show It's Just a Matter of Time, talks to the artist Ayşe Erkmen.
