Contemporary art across the evolving global peripheries
by Aras Özgün · Published
“Black Sea” is a photo essay that consists of a series of vertically framed seascapes. The accompanying narrative text presents a “timescape” parallel to these seascapes; by bringing together pieces of memory and history, it tells the story of the people absent from the photographs — the Pontus (“sea”) Greeks who once lived on these coasts.

ARTMargins Print is pleased to announce the publication of the Volume 13, Issue 2. A recurring idea in the current issue is difference and contradiction. While art historiography has often treated artistic styles and movements as integrated and consistent wholes, with bookended beginnings and closures, and treated artists as equally stable authorial voices rooted in their respective dispositions, art practice for the most part is marked by contradiction rather than consistency, challenging us to capture the dynamism that contradiction and difference produce in art.
