Fatoş Üstek Named Director of David Roberts Art Foundation

Fatoş Üstek has been appointed director of the David Roberts Art Foundation, a private non-profit founded by art collector and property developer David Roberts. The foundation sold its north London gallery premises last year and will now implement temporary programming across the United Kingdom. Üstek, previously curator of London's Art Night festival, will program DRAF's eleventh Evening of Performances at KOKO in London this October. Additionally, DRAF announced an exhibition of works from Roberts' collection at Mostyn in North Wales. Independent curator Victor Wang will organize an exhibition examining Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese performance movements from the 1960s and 1970s at partner venues throughout the UK. The previous director, Vincent Honoré, departed the organization in October to become senior curator at London's Hayward Gallery.
