If you are a fan of doing the unexpected, and I am
2021
The words are taken from a longer statement by Grace Jones: “If you are a fan of doing the unexpected, and I am, then it is an advantage to be highly skilled at changing your mind. If you do not want to limit yourself, then be prepared to change your mind—often.”

Let’s imagine you steal this poster (2016), a work on political activist, academic, and author Angela Davis, marks Ahmet Öğüt’s reaction against the gender-disproportionate number of male portraits on view in the hall of fame of Berlin’s Humboldt University, the institution from which Davis received her honorary Ph.D.
One ordinary happening' a version of Allan Kaprow's 'Fluids’
2015
20.000 unsigned editions
In his approach to Kaprow’s Fluids, Ahmet Öğüt chose the theme of ice, the material used in the happening. He explores its transformation process – its physical and economic cycle. In this age of climate change, the image of melting ice has taken on a radical new meaning. With this in mind, Öğüt addresses how the basic material used in Kaprow’s happening continues to circulate after the happening is over.
The ice blocks used to create Fluids melted into 12,420 liters (roughly 3,281 gallons) of water. For his project, Öğüt is distributing the same amount of water in bottles with a label designed by himself. The bottles will be given away at different locations during the Berlin Art Week, among them SAVVY Contemporary, and are not only free artist editions, but also a call for us to enact our own version of One Ordinary Happening.
