The 15th Istanbul Biennial, entitled a good neighbour and curated by artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset, brings together artworks by fifty-six artists from thirty-two countries, all addressing different notions of home, belonging, and neighbourhood. On view from September 16 to November 12, 2017, 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.
Two publications (a good neighbour: Exhibition and a good neighbour: Stories), in Turkish and English and packaged as a box set, accompany the 15th Istanbul Biennial.
a good neighbour: Exhibition contextualizes the exhibition with a foreword by Istanbul Biennial Director Bige Örer, an introduction by curators Elmgreen & Dragset, an essay by Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, and descriptions of every artist’s work by Pablo Larios.
