Art Space: editorial

Abstract

‘ISEA2011 Symposium, Istanbul was the locus where different art signs and cultural products, expressions of the transformation of contemporary societies across the globe – travel to and co exist for a period of time in a state of continuous production and flux across the cityscape and its historical, geopolitical and contemporary layers. The contradiction of ‘containing’ the uncontainable bring to light the processes of contextualization, interpretation and recontextualization of ideas and cultural productions, no longer conceived as static elements but rather as evolutionary products of transformation of envisaged futures and realities that move across geopolitical spaces and times’.
