Istanbul Design Biennial explores a wide range of fields, from urban design to architecture, photography, industrial, graphic, fashion, textile and interaction design and all related creative fields.
The first edition of the Istanbul Design Biennial will be realized between
13 October–12 December 2012 by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and
Arts (IKSV), and will comprise a wide range of events, workshops,
conferences and screenings centred around its exhibitions program. The
Biennial's two curators, Emre Arolat and Joseph Grima, will independently
curate two exhibitions within the framework of the biennial theme,
Imperfection, adopted at the suggestion of Deyan Sudjic, Director of The
Design Museum in London and a member of the Biennial's advisory board. The
Biennial solicits submissions, proposals and recommendations for each of
the exhibitions.
The full exhibition outlines and submission guidelines can be reviewed on
the website of the Istanbul Design Biennial.

Istanbul Design Biennial explores a wide range of fields, from urban
design (environmental, urban and regional planning) to architecture,
photography, industrial, graphic, fashion, textile and interaction design,
and all related creative fields. There are therefore no disciplinary or
geographic limitations to the projects that can be submitted for inclusion
in the Biennial.
The deadline for submissions is June 2nd, 2012.
A full list of pre-events, workshops and activities can be found on the
Biennial website.
