2017年伊斯坦布尔双年展已经安装了广告牌，广告牌上的照片来自世界各地，广告上的标语提出对当今社会睦邻的问题。

The 2017 Istanbul Biennial has installed billboards around the world that pair photographs with slogans that raise questions about neighbourliness in today's society.

根据艺术家Elmgreen和Dragset策划的第十五届伊斯坦布尔双年展主题“一个好邻居”，广告牌项目旨在鼓励关于对这一话题的思考和对话。

该项目是瑞士摄影师Lukas Wassman和著名的平面设计师Rupert Smyth的合作。从短暂的“意想不到的遭遇”开始，系列探讨了世界各地社区变化的性质。

这些照片显示出人与人之间的各种各样的相遇，这些问题，反问着成为一个好邻居与什么有关。在这些广告中，提取生活中的例子化作文字，如“好邻居会是刚刚搬进来的人吗？”和“如果他是个好邻居，你还会害怕吗？”。

Based around the 15th Istanbul Biennial's theme "a good neighbour", curated by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, the International Billboard Project aims to encourage thought and dialogue on the topic.
The project is a collaboration between Swiss photographer Lukas Wassman and renown graphic designer Rupert Smyth. Beginning with the brief "unexpected encounters", the series explores the changing nature of neighbourhoods around the world.
The photographs, showing a variety of encounters between people, are paired with questions that ask what it means to be a good neighbour. Text on the boards reads "Is a good neighbour someone who has just moved in?" and "Is a good neighbour someone you don't fear?" among examples.

这些广告牌将在全球范围内展示，包括贝尔法斯特、芝加哥、莫斯科、悉尼、米兰和首尔。

策展人告诉Dezeen说：“该项目将两年一度的地理范围扩展到伊斯坦布尔以外的地区，并通过渗透其他城市的公共空间传播这一概念。“

他说：“我们希望能在人们注意到广告牌的同时，为他们创造思考时刻，让他们联想到自己的邻居或自己作为邻居的时候。我们今天在世界上面临的问题在很大程度上是全球互联的。”

They are displayed in cities worldwide, including Belfast, Chicago, Moscow, Sydney, Milan and Seoul.
"The project extends the geographic reach of the biennial beyond Istanbul and spreads the concept by infiltrating the public space of other cities," the curators told Dezeen.
"We hope that it will create a moment of reflection for people when they notice the billboards, and make them think about their own neighbourhoods and themselves as neighbours," they said. "The problems that we face in the world today are for a large part interconnected globally."

双年展的主题是应对通过移民和中产阶级化带来的快速城市化，和社会不平等的上升采取的行动。

“当然，由于过去一年的政治事件，标题已经赋予了新的意义和层次，像英国退欧投票，特朗普当选美国总统承诺建立沿墨西哥边境墙，而在土耳其不仅仅是政治发展。“策展人补充说。

Elmgreen和Dragset在国际上推出这个项目时，目的为了加强世界各地的艺术家，建筑师和知识分子之间的联系，“展示出他们并不孤单”。

The biennial's theme was chosen in reaction to the rapid urbanisation of cities and the rise in social inequality, brought on by immigration and gentrification.
"Of course, the title has taken on new meanings and layers due to the political events of this past year, like the Brexit vote, Trump being elected President of the US on a promise to build a wall along the Mexican border, and not least the political developments in Turkey," the curators added.
In launching the project internationally, Elmgreen and Dragset aim to strengthen networks between artists, architects and intellectuals around the world to "show then that they're not alone".

他说：“解决今天的共存挑战始于个人之间的对话，而双年展可以是一个很好的形式，可以引发思想交流，在不同背景的人之间建立联系。”“如果我们害怕，我们就只能被操纵，我们相信艺术可以帮助我们减少恐惧。”

今年的伊斯坦布尔双年展将于2017年9月16日至11月12日在土耳其城市各地举行。

"Tackling today's challenges of co-existence begins with dialogue between individuals, and a biennial can be a great format for initiating an exchange of ideas and generating connections between people with many different backgrounds," they said. "We can only be manipulated if we are fearful, and we believe that art can help in making us less fearful."
This year's Istanbul Biennial takes place from 16 September to 12 November 2017 at locations across the Turkish city.
