Elmgreen & Dragset curate 15th Istanbul Biennial titled 'A Good Neighbour' exploring home and community

The 15th Istanbul Biennial will run from 16 September to 12 November 2017 under the curatorial direction of artist duo Elmgreen and Dragset. Titled 'A Good Neighbour', the exhibition will examine evolving concepts of home and neighborhood dynamics. According to the curators, home functions as both a reflection of diverse identities and a means for personal expression. Neighborhoods will be presented as microcosms illustrating contemporary challenges of coexistence. A worldwide billboard campaign created by graphic designer Rupert Smyth and other artists will appear in cultural institutions globally. This campaign will interrogate transformations in neighborhoods across the world. The biennial's concept focuses on how private living modes have shifted in recent decades.
