N2  - Discrepant Abstraction is hybrid and partial, elusive and repetitive, obstinate and strange: it includes almost everything that does not neatly fit into the institutional narrative of abstract art as a monolithic quest for artistic ‘purity’. Exploring cross-cultural scenarios in 20th-century art, this ground-breaking collection, co-published by Iniva and The MIT Press, alters our understanding of abstract art as a signifier of modernity by revealing the multiple directions it has taken in diverse international contexts. Texts: Stanley K. Abe, Mark A. Cheetham, David Clarke, David Craven, Iftikhar Dadi, Wilson Harris, Kellie Jones, Nathaniel Mackey, Kobena Mercer, Angeline Morrison
