Rediscovering Bilgé, the Quiet Master of American Minimalism

Turkish-American artist Bilgé (Bilgé Civelekoğlu Friedlaender), a largely overlooked figure in American Minimalism, is the subject of a new institutional exhibition in New York titled “Torn Time: Bilgé” at the Institute for Arab and Islamic Art (IAIA). The show, curated by IAIA Founding Director Mohammed Rashid Al-Thanion and on view through October, highlights works from the two decades following her 1972 deep-sea dive in the Bahamas, which sparked a period of prodigious creation using delicate paper interventions. Bilgé studied at the Istanbul Academy of Fine Arts and NYU, exhibited at Betty Parsons Gallery and Kornblee Gallery in 1974, and was included in the Smithsonian’s “Paper as Medium” (1978), the International Istanbul Biennial (1989), and the International Biennial of Paper Art (1992).

The Myth of the “Emerging” Black Artist: Ageism and Access in the Art World

The article, written by Chenoa Baker, critiques the art world's labeling system that categorizes artists as emerging, mid-career, or established. It argues that these labels are particularly harmful to Black artists, who are often kept in the "emerging" category for years despite significant achievements, collections, and decades of practice. The piece highlights the cases of Cheryl Miller, a self-taught analog photographer whose work is held by major institutions yet who had to "re-emerge" after relocating, and Ifé Franklin, a queer Black artist whose career was sidelined by systemic erasure and who is now being honored as an "elder" artist. The article connects these labels to ageism, lack of access to elite schools and galleries, and the undervaluing of self-taught artists and those working outside traditional art centers.

Parker, the fair's first female director and a longtime staff member, aims to move beyond the so-called 'Kate Moss Index'—industry slang for the prevalence of safe, traditional photographic subjects like supermodel portraits—by rewarding galleries that take risks with more experimental work. The fair has cycled through several directors in recent years, including Roderick van der Lee and Kamiar Maleki, but Parker brings an insider's perspective and a working-class background to the role.
