The 4th Istanbul Design Biennial further revealed the curatorial vision, A School of Schools, at the 2018 Milan Design Week.
In collaboration with Belgium-based contemporary art house Z33, a School of Time installation was premiered in ALCOVA, where more than 20 projects are exhibited within the scope of the 2018 Milan Design Week.
The School of Time installation comprises of two interactive displays developed by Tim Knapen & Jesse Howard from Commonplace Studio and Teis De Greve. The installations question the conflicts and paradoxes of time, such as the credibility of the past and the reality of the present and the possible futures.
The section developed by Commonplace Studio will be exhibited in a different format at the Jerusalem Design Week (8-15 June), before travelling to Istanbul in September. School of Time will be part of the learning process at the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial after being exhibited in Milan and Jerusalem.
The event in ALCOVA was attended by leading international design figures including: Aric Chen, Lead Curator for Design and Architecture at M+; Christopher Turner, Keeper of Design, Architecture and Digital at V&A Museum; Johanna Agerman Ross, Curator of Twentieth Century and Contemporary Furniture and Product Design at V&A Museum; Joseph Grima, Creative Director of Design Academy Eindhoven and Co-Curator of the 1st Istanbul Design Biennial; Justin McGuirk, Chief Curator of the London Design Museum; Sven Gatz, Flemish Minister for Culture, Youth, Media and Brussels and Zoe Ryan, Curator of Architecture and Design at the Art Institute of Chicago and Curator of the 2nd Istanbul Design Biennial.
