Beyond Borders and Prejudices: A Collection of Essays on Art and Culture (1990-2020)

HC, 22x28 cm. ArtDog Publications' first book, Beyond Borders and Prejudices, brings together a selection of essays and conference papers written by curator and critic Beral Madra between 1990 and 2020. The volume gathers Madra's 30 years of intellectual and curatorial work, marking the debut of ArtDog's publishing imprint. Edited by Sinan Eren Erk, curator, art writer, and AICA Turkey member, the book is published in English and serves as a comprehensive reference for scholars and art professionals. It examines the political, economic, and social dynamics of contemporary art across three decades, exploring the relationship between art, borders, identity, and prejudice. Photographs taken by Madra during the same period accompany the texts, adding a visual layer to the book's historical depth. Focusing on regions stretching from Turkey to the Balkans, the Caucasus, Europe, and the Arabian Peninsula, Beyond Borders and Prejudices highlights how Turkey's "in-between" position has shaped artistic production and discourse. The book emphasizes art as not only a form of expression but also a mode of thought deeply entangled with social structures. Editors: Translator: 220 pages.…
