Fatoş Üstek, independent curator

Live from Enter Art Fair 2026 in collaboration with Other Circle.

"I am very interested in understanding the self and how we build our truths... For me as a curator, I feel responsibility in making art happen." — Fatoş Üstek

Fatoş Üstek is an independent curator, writer and cultural leader who has directed the Liverpool Biennial and Roberts Institute of Art.

Before entering the art world she studied abstract mathematics. Her projects include fig 2 at ICA London, where she produced 50 exhibitions in 50 consecutive weeks, and several editions of Frieze Sculpture.

We talk about mathematics, fair pay, institutional change and the reality of making ambitious art projects happen. And why Fatoş sees that responsibility as central to being a curator.

This episode of SUPERVOX is hosted by Anna Fernsten Nilén, Curator & Cultural Strategist.
