New Art Scales : Rethinking Local in a Global Art World

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.
Artists include: Eva Nielsen, Marion Verboom, Leylâ Gediz, Ugo Schiavi, Elsa Sahal, Raphaël Barontini, Apolonia Sokol, Soufiane Ababri, Mireille Blanc, Pablo Dávila, Berke Doganoglu, Daniel Otero Torres, Aykan Safoglu, Elif Erkan, Irem Gunaydin and Lux Miranda.
