THE 2ND ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL


THE 2ND ISTANBUL DESIGN BIENNIAL
1 NOVEMBER – 14 DECEMBER 2014

Rebuild the electronic and digital tools by Coralie Gourgechon
The 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial The Future Is Not What It Used To Be organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) and curated by Zoë Ryan opens to the public on 1 November. Throughout the city and in the biennial hub, Galata Greek Primary School, the biennial features 53 projects from designers all over the world that ask: “What is the future now?” as well as panels, conversations, workshops, film screenings and many other events until 14 December 2014. By rethinking the manifesto as a platform to frame pertinent questions, the projects question the role of design, its relationship to society, and its ability to be an active agent for change. The 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial is co-sponsored by Arçelik, Doğuş Group & Bilgili Holding, ENKA Foundation and VitrA and it is held free of charge
The 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial has opened with a media conference held on Thursday, 30 October at Galata Greek Primary School with the participation of İKSV General Manager Görgün Taner, Director of Istanbul Design Biennial Deniz Ova and curator Zoë Ryan.
Zoë Ryan says, “Istanbul has a thriving creative community, so it seems an especially appropriate city in which to reflect on the field of design. In an effort to contribute to an already rich dialogue in Turkey and focus on issues urgently affecting daily life, the biennial brings together diverse design ideas from across the world for an emerging set of conditions”. Ryan also adds, “The 2014 Istanbul Design Biennial is envisioned as a conversation starter. It is an occasion to present a range of projects by some of the most inventive practitioners working today, and emphasize the critical role that design plays in identifying points of urgency and posing questions about the objects, buildings, and environments we interact with daily, as well as materializing outcomes.”
The conference was followed by the exhibition tour guided by curator Zoë Ryan and associate curator Meredith Carruthers. After the tour, The 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial Academy Programme Exhibitions and other events were visited at the biennial’s event space, Antrepo 7.
The 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial hub, Galata Greek Primary School
The exhibition at the 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial hub, Galata Greek Primary School continues over all five floors of the school, an area of approximately 2,300 square metres. The projects imagine new possibilities that can transform the present and invite new potential futures. The biennial features 53 projects by more than 200 designers from more than 20 countries including Australia, China, France, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United States, that propose alternative manifestos in the form of objects, fashion accessories, food, menus, maps, buildings, visual languages, systems, and services.
Arranged in five departments by curator Zoë Ryan and associate curator Meredith Carruthers — Personal, Norms and Standards, Resource, Civic Relations, and Broadcast — the projects in the exhibition question the manifesto as a platform for situating ideas and pointing to new directions.
An additional project, “The Exhibition as Manifesto,” is a survey of the history of design exhibitions through the lens of thirteen historic shows. Compiled by the curators in collaboration with researcher Maggie Taft, these seminal group and thematic exhibitions dating from 1956 to 2007 were selected for their continued relevance and resonance in the design field.
In addition to the exhibition, the biennial hub at the Galata Greek Primary School hosts different events for design enthusiasts daily for six weeks: theKontraakt team's broadcast programming, which includes a weekly radio show, is held on Tuesdays and throughout the weekQ&A's and panels on Wednesdaysfilm screenings on Thursdays, and Children and Youth Programmes every day.

The Film Programme held in Galata Greek Primary School and TAK Kadıköy throughout the biennial, presents different approaches to living in the future.

Experimental Dome Program to Premier at Concept Miami in Bayfront Park

October 31, 2014 (Miami, FL) – Concept, a new art fair for downtown Miami launching during Art Basel Miami Beach 2014, is pleased to announce its partnership with New Mexico Arts’ "Art in Public Places" program and the premier of the Experimental Dome Program. Offering an immersive installation experience, the state-of-the-art mobile dome is outfitted with a 50 ft. video projection, Oculus Rift glasses and an interactive digital panel. The Experimental Dome Program will open in Bayfront Park on December 2nd in conjunction with Concept’s opening night VIP vernissage aboard the SeaFair yacht, docked nearby. The Dome will be open to the public during fair hours, December 3-7th.

Visitors to the dome will have one of the first publicly accessible opportunities to view Ai Weiwei and Bert Benally’s collaborative time and land based installation Pull of the Moon. Commissioned by the TIME (Temporary Installations Made for the Environment) Land Art Program and exhibited this past June in Coyote Canyon on Navajo Nation land in New Mexico, the sand paintings were designed by Ai remotely from China, where he is restricted by the government from leaving, and executed by Navajo artist Benally in transformation of the ancestral land.

Due to the temporal nature of the sand paintings that incorporated mediums of fire, sound, and powdered porcelain, only the community immediately surrounding the remote area was able to visit and view the works. In a bridging of land art and new media art, the piece was filmed by drones using the precision of photogrammetry and 3D modeling by Xrez Studios to create the art film, Pull of the Moon, in addition to a documentary produced by Blackhorse Lowe & Daniel Hyde, which attendees of Concept and the Experimental Dome Program will also be able to view.

In addition to the this monumental exhibition, the dome will feature In the Round, a program of artists selected to have their work translated into moving graphics formatted for the specialized dome projection. Artists were selected from the Seminole Tribe and Navajo Tribe, both early participants in the Experimental Dome Program, which plans to travel to other communities in the near future, and underscores the project’s mission to engage and exhibit artists in communities that may be overlooked by the international art world. The collaboration with the Seminole Tribe is especially relevant to Art Basel Miami Week, as Florida boasts one of the largest populations of Seminole Native Americans.

In the Round will feature videos of work by Muscogee(Creek)/Seminole artist, designer and metalsmith, Kenneth Johnson; animated paintings by Navajo artist, Tony Abeyta; an interactive video featuring graffiti artists Jaque Fragua, from Jemez Peulo, and Yattika Star Field, of the Seminole tribe; and a music video created by Seminole rappers and composers, Spencer Battiest and Zachary Battiest, who will also perform aboard the SeaFair during Concept on Friday and Saturday night. Additionally, Blue Flower, a New Mexico Arts featured Art in Public Places project by Spanish born new media artist Federico Muelas, will also be on view.

Tickets to the Experimental Dome Project are available for $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Viewing hours are Wednesday, December, 3rd through Saturday, December 6th, 11:00am to 9:00pm; and Sunday, December 7th, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Advance reservations are recommended. www.concept-fair.com.

The performances by Spencer and Zachary Battiest on Friday, December 5th and Saturday, December 6th at 8:00pm are a fundraiser for iLSAF (the international Land Sensitive Art Foundation) a tax-exempt organization that supports programs like TIME, and the NM Arts Exchange Program. Tickets are $45.00 in advance online, or $50.00 at door. Advance reservations are recommended. www.concept-fair.com.
