| a good neighbour, 15th Istanbul Biennial. |
The
Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) is pleased to announce the list
of artists,
duos,
and collectives that will take part in the 15th edition of the Istanbul
Biennial. The 15th Istanbul Biennial, entitled a good neighbour and curated by
artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset, reveals the participating artists of this
year’s edition, which takes place from 16 September to 12 November 2017.
Organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) and sponsored
by Koç Holding, the 15th Istanbul Biennial brings together artworks by 55
artists from 32 countries, all addressing different notions of home, belonging
and neighbourhood. The biennial takes place in six neighbouring venues: Istanbul
Modern, Galata Greek Primary School, Ark Kültür, Pera Museum, Yoğunluk Atelier,
and Küçük Mustafa Paşa Hammam.
“Your
neighbour might be someone who lives quite a different life from yours. And
hopefully you, unlike many politicians lately, are not the one who chooses to
deal with your fear of otherness by fencing yourself off. The artists in the
15th Istanbul Biennial raise questions about ideas of home, neighbourhood, belonging
and co-existence from multiple perspectives. Some of the artworks examine how
our domestic living conditions and modes have changed and how our
neighbourhoods have transformed, while others focus on how we cope with today’s
geopolitical challenges on a micro-level. The Biennial takes its form from the
invited artists’ personal or analytical statements: an engaging mixture of
hopes and visions, of sadness and indignation, of history and present day.” Elmgreen
& Dragset,

THE 15TH ISTANBUL BIENNIAL’S PUBLIC
PROGRAMME
In
addition to the two-month-long exhibition, the 15th Istanbul Biennial also
features a Public Programme coordinated by artist Zeyno Pekünlü that
encompasses a variety of events and discussions related to the concept of “a
good neighbour”. Without neglecting the burden of history and the immediacy of
actuality, the Public Programme focuses on the shared questions that led to a
number of important debates in recent years. During the opening and closing
weeks of the Biennial, it features symposiums with thought-provoking speakers
such as activist and professor Shahrzad Mojab, recognised for her research on
the impact of war, displacement and violence on women’s learning and education;
professor Joseph Massad, known for his criticism of liberal policies related to
multiculturalism; professor of political economy Massimo de Angelis; and
architect and scholar Stavros Stavrides, whose work
focuses
on spatial practices.
Entitled
Chosen Families, the first trails the quest for different kinds of belongings
beyond family as an institution.
The
second, Mutual Fate focuses on urban ecology and strives for finding ways out
of anthropocentrism. With panel discussions, screenings, workshops and regular
events throughout the Biennial, participants can be found cooking, reading and
playing music together. Admission to all Public Programme events is free.

Biennial’s Public Programme can be accessed at

The 15th Istanbul Biennial – a good
neighbour
The
15th edition of the Istanbul Biennial, entitled a good neighbour, is organised
by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV). The Biennial is made
possible thanks to sponsor Koç Holding, with the patronage of several other
supporters, international funders and funding bodies. It takes place from 16
September to 12 November 2017 and access to exhibitions and programming is free
of charge.
Instead
of a statement, the curators, artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset, developed 40
questions that have guided the process of making the exhibition. These
questions were first presented live in Istanbul by 40 performers of different ages,
genders and backgrounds in December 2016, and were shared on the Biennial’s
website and social media accounts. A video documentation of the press
conference can found through this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvMPti6Hjac.
From Moscow to Sydney: The International
Billboard Project
In
anticipation of the exhibition, the 15th Istanbul Biennial launched an
International Billboard Project to share the theme of “a good neighbour” in
different cities around the world. Through collaborations with cultural
institutions worldwide, the International Billboard Project displays a
carefully curated selection of photographs by Lukas Wassmann, which capture
unexpected encounters paired with questions asking what makes a good neighbour.
Host cities include Moscow (Russia), Sydney (Australia), Milan (Italy),
Ljubljana (Slovenia), Armagh, Ballynahinch, Belfast, Downpatrick and Newry
(Northern Ireland), Southhampton (UK), Calgary (Canada), Plovidv (Bulgaria),
and Chicago (USA), Seoul and Gwangju (South Korea).

15. İSTANBUL BİENALİ'NE KATILACAK
SANATÇILAR BELLİ OLDU
İstanbul
Kültür Sanat Vakfı tarafından 16 Eylül - 12 Kasım tarihleri arasında
gerçekleşecek olan 15. İstanul Bienali'nde yer alacak sanatçılar belli oldu.
Sanatçı
ikilisi Elmgreen & Dragset’in küratörlüğünde düzenlenecek olan iyi bir
komşu başlıklı bienalde, 32 ülkeden 55 sanatçının ev, mahalle ve aidiyet
kavramlarını tartışmaya açan işleri sergilenecek. 15. İstanbul Bienali,
İstanbul Modern, Galata Özel Rum İlköğretim Okulu, Pera Müzesi ve Küçük Mustafa
Paşa Hamamı gibi daha önce de İstanbul Bienallerine ev sahipliği yapan
mekânların yanı sıra Cihangir’deki ARK Kültür ile Asmalımescit’te yer alan
Yoğunluk Sanatçı Atölyesi gibi konut özelliği taşıyan mekânlara yayılacak.
Türkiye’den 10 sanatçının işlerinin yer alacağı bienal için 30 sanatçı yeni iş
üretecek.
Küratörler
Michael Elmgreen ve Ingar Dragset iyi bir komşu başlıklı bienali şöyle
anlatıyor: “Komşunuz sizden oldukça farklı yaşayan biri olabilir. Ancak
umuyoruz ki siz, son dönemde dünyadaki pek çok politikacının aksine ‘öteki’
korkunuzla etrafınıza çitler örerek baş etmiyorsunuzdur. 15. İstanbul
Bienali’ndeki sanatçılar ev, mahalle, aidiyet ve müşterek yaşam hakkındaki
fikirleri çeşitli perspektiflerden tartışmaya açıyor. İşlerden bazıları ev
yaşamımızdaki hâl ve koşulların nasıl değiştiğini ve mahallelerimizin geçirdiği
dönüşümü incelerken bazıları da günümüzün jeopolitik sorunlarının nasıl
üstesinden geldiğimizi mikro ölçekte ele alıyor. Bienal sergiye davet edilen
sanatçıların kişisel veya analitik ifadeleriyle biçimlenerek umutlarla
hayallerin, hüzünle öfkenin, geçmişle bugünün birbirine karıştığı alanlar
yaratıyor.”
