New World Meridian (2021) is a three-part edition of marble wall sculptures in the form of a globe around which a planetary ring of blue neon light glows. The combination of stone and neon tube is what artist Niko Abramidis &NE calls a connection of old-world material with new-world material, thereby referring to our current globalized world that has grown out of thousand-year-old human history. Both materials are expressions of representation – the robust marble from which important sculptural works were already created in the Renaissance and neon light, which is used for illuminated advertising – come together in this work and form a logo of today's networked world. The works of Niko Abramidis &NE can always be transferred to the ventures of large corporations and interpreted as a humorous commentary. In the spirit of "think global, act local", the artist himself visited the quarry and had the neon piece precisely hand-blown, thus creating a corporate logo in a traditional artistic approach.
