Curated by Mariana Pestana and organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), the 5th Istanbul Design Biennial opens on 15 October 2020. With a new structure that brings together different formats of display, the biennial is held under the title 'Empathy Revisited: Designs for more than one' with participants from various countries and disciplines intervening in exhibition venues, outdoor spaces and digital platforms. AC/E supports the participation of Spanish artists invited by the Biennial.
The Biennial reappraises its format to foreground practices of care, localism and new models of co-existence. It presents a generative programme comprising three main axes: an online series titled Critical Cooking Show, a set of research projects on the Mediterranean basin to be archived at the Library of Land and Sea and displayed at ARK Kültür, and a series of interventions in the city of Istanbul and Pera Museum titled New Civic Rituals.
The projects displayed at Pera Museum and ARK Kültür will be open to visit until 15 November 2020, whereas the interventions in the city, research projects and video series will continue to evolve through 2021. This format proposes new modes of engaging with design in line with the current restrictions around social distancing articulating mostly outdoor activities directed at local audiences, while also providing content for a global spectatorship.
