ArtDog Istanbul 26th Issue

ArtDog Istanbul is a cultural magazine, available both online and in print, with a focus on contemporary art. Since its inception in 2019, the publication has explored a wide range of disciplines, including theater, music, literature, cinema, design, fashion, and architecture. Dedicated to breaking down barriers between art and its audience, ArtDog Istanbul serves as a bridge between global and local art platforms. By closely following the dynamic transformations in Istanbul's vibrant art and cultural landscape, it offers a rich and colorful portrait of the city's creative scene.

With the ongoing economic crisis, declining trust in justice, and social deterioration, another year has passed. In this climate, what direction will culture and the arts take? To explore this question, the magazine spoke with leading figures such as Hüsamettin Koçan, Şebnem İşigüzel, Gündüz Vassaf, Özcan Yaman, Uras Kızıl, and Gökçer Tahincioğlu. Their insights highlight that art is not only a means of individual creativity but also a powerful force that fosters social solidarity.

In this issue, Valentine’s Day is approached through the inspiring lens of art, focusing on couples whose relationships have shaped their creative journeys—Gilbert & George, Ted Hughes & Sylvia Plath, and Rondinone & John Giorno, among others. Additionally, the magazine pays tribute to Arhan Kayar, honoring his contributions to the creative industries.

One of Istanbul’s most iconic cultural venues, Markiz, is emerging from a long period of silence through a collaboration with PİLEVNELİ. Hosting the "Dehşetli Güzel" project by :mentalKLINIK and Carlo Bernardini, Markiz takes center stage in this issue. Captured through the lens of Serkan Eldeleklioğlu, its enchanting atmosphere invites readers to rediscover this historic space.
