"IGU Faculty of Fine Arts students were at the 16th Istanbul Design Biennial”
Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Fine Arts Faculty (GSF) Graphic Design, Fashion and Textile Design Department students were at the 16th Istanbul Design Biennial this year.
Students of Istanbul Gelişim University Fine Arts Faculty Graphic Design, Fashion and Textile Design Departments examined the works that took place in Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Painting and Sculpture Museum within the scope of Istanbul Design Biennial, which was held for the 16th time this year, between 14 September and 10 November 2019.
This year's theme of the biennial, organized with the theme that the world we live in has entered a new geological age and curated by French writer and academician Nicolas Bourriaud, has been determined as "The Seventh Continent". The Seventh Continent defines art as an anthropology that explores human influences, paths, traces, and interactions with non-humans. It constitutes a starting point for the 16th Istanbul Biennial to explore the current state of art in the face of ecological problems, together with many artists, thinkers, anthropologists and environmentalists.
In this context, the students of the department had the opportunity to closely examine the works that examine the destruction created on nature, climate change, the human intervention process in nature and the interaction of this process with humans.
