BROCHURE TEXT FOR NEIGHBOURS IN DIALOGUE 10-31 MARCH, FESHANE-I AMIRE, ISTANBUL
Since the 1990s we have witnessed the emergence of a new dialogue and exchange of ideas among the arts communities of the countries of the Southern Caucasus, the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean; it is our sincere hope that this essential process in the making of current art will continue. In spite of ongoing adverse political and economic developments in the region, the practice of art, art criticism, general critical theory and local art events are continuing and intensifying with the support of a regional network and mutual agreements.
The existence within this territory of a complex multilingual and multicultural galaxy composed of a variety of modernisms and postmodernisms with various forms of expression and differing discourses renders these contemporary art scenes even more prolific and attractive. In addition, there is a desire and even a sense of urgency to remap the contemporary cultural environment in a manner parallel to the rapid and intense transformations taking place in the EU countries.
