New Art Scales
Rethinking Local in a Global Art World Published by JBE Books/The Pill.
Edited with text by Ingrid Luquet-Gad. Afterword by Suela Cennet. On a new generation of artists addressing an uncertain political climate at the crossroads of East and West The 16 artists featured in this book are represented by The Pill gallery, founded by Suela Cennet in 2016, located in Istanbul, a city at the crossroads between East and West. How to explore such crucial issues as violence, migration, the relationship to the body, gender and patriarchy in a country with an increasingly uncertain political context? Faced with a highly globalized art system, how to rethink the relationship between center and margins, between global and local? The artists presented in New Art Scales, born at the cusp of the 21st century, are determined to shake up the art world and address these questions.
