4th istanbul design biennial: a school of schools.

Sep 22, 2018

organized by the istanbul foundation for culture and arts (i̇ksv), the 4th istanbul design biennial will be held from 22 september to 4 november 2018 with the title of a school of schools.

in 2018, the biennial will seek to consolidate the legacies of previous editions, and reinvent the biennial format into a productive process-orientated platform for researching, experimenting and learning. a school of schools will manifest as a multi-platform biennial that uses, tests, and revises a variety of educational strategies to reflect on the role of design, knowledge, and global connectedness in contemporary istanbul and beyond. the biennial will stretch both the space and time of the traditional design event, manifesting as a flexible year-long programm within which to respond to global acceleration, generating alternative methodologies, outputs and forms of design and education.

initiating an open call from 12 october 2017, a school of schools invites a broad range of designers and thinkers from around the world to explore eight themes: measures and maps, time and attention, mediterranean and migration, disasters and earthquakes, food and customs, patterns and rhythm, currency and capital, and parts and pockets. focusing on the process as much as the outcomes, the biennial aims to create new knowledge, search for alternatives to implemented systems, and with radical diversity, push the boundaries of the design discipline.

for the 4th istanbul design biennial jan boelen is teaming up with vera sacchetti as associate curator and nadine botha as assistant curator. the details of the 4th istanbul design biennial program will be announced in 2018. the media and professional preview of the biennial will be on 20 and 21 september 2018.

turkey’s contribution to the 1st london design biennale.

Sep 7, 2016

organized by the istanbul foundation for culture and arts (i̇ksv), turkey’s contribution to the 1st london design biennale presents ‘the wish machine,’ a project undertaken by the istanbul-based multidisciplinary design studio, autoban. the inaugural london design biennale (7-27 september 2016) features projects from over thirty countries, which were called to respond to the theme of ‘utopia by design’.

the wish machine’ project takes direct inspiration from the ‘wish-tree,’ a cultural tradition deeply rooted in the ancient anatolian faith and found in ancient greek, kabala and persian believes. it operates on a simple mechanism that involves affixing a note or a memento to a branch of a tree as an act of hope born out of hopelessness. ‘the wish machine’ takes this multi-cultural tradition as the key insight into how design and utopia can cooperate.
