Mercado Edition #10 - Design for Art's Sake

Mercado Edition #9 - The Illusion of Control

The word Mercado, which means “public market, market” in Spanish, has a deeper meaning beyond being a shopping area used by local people; They are socialization areas where the city's best local products are sold and there are boutique branches of famous restaurants.

With the desire to create a digital "Mercado" that brings together talented designers and artists who can inspire everyone, this "Mercado", where many special people and their projects will take place, will also feed the hunger for creative experiences and to come together and support design and art in spite of those who say that the world is getting worse. It was established to lead people united with its power.

In celebration of the 5th anniversary of OMM - Odunpazarı Modern Museum, the Mercado team has come together to create a special edition. Curated by İdil Tabanca, the "Creatures of Comfort" exhibition blurs the boundaries of design and art, exploring the recent history of functional art and seeking the new generation of creators who produce in symbiosis with nature. This issue also features architect, filmmaker, and BAFTA-nominated producer Liam Young, described by the BBC as "the man designing our future," as well as Sofia Crespo, who digitally simulates organic life. It delves into the world of "collectible design" with pioneers Loic Le Gaillard & Julien Lombrail, founders of Carpenters Workshop Gallery, alongside interdisciplinary architecture practice (AB)NORMAL, and much more in the "Design For Art's Sake" edition.

Note: The issue is bilingual, in both Turkish and English.
