11th Gwangju Biennale
2. 9. – 6. 11. 2016
Korea

Fellows

The GB11 Biennale Fellows consist of roughly one hundred small- and medium-scale art organizations across the world whose work makes important contributions to the art of today, yet remains under the radar. Biennale Fellows will continue doing the important work they normally do, without GB11 being involved in their activities.
These organizations often function as the research and development department of the art world, generating new ideas, supporting artists to allow them to experiment and cultivate their practices, shaping new curatorial and educational methods, and fostering active relationships to their field as well as to their physical, social, and political environments. Yet the significance of their works for a wider art and social ecology has not been acknowledged enough.

To All the Contributing Factors

The Forum entitled To All the Contributing Factoris, consists of three days of activities dedicated to questions of value, continuity, and scale through the lens of the art organizational practices of the so-called Biennale Fellows, around 100 small and mid-size “differential” art organizations from various parts of the world, and imagining acts in common. Representatives from about 80 of the Fellows will participate in the Forum.



The Forum will take place at several locations, including the Gwangju Biennale Hall, 518 Archives, Gwangju International Center, Mite-Ugro, and May Mother's House.

Campus in Camps, Palestine

When we think about refugee camps, one of the most common images that comes to mind is an aggregation of tents. However, after more than sixty years since their establishment, Palestinian refugee camps are constituted today by a completely different materiality: concrete houses and solid urban spaces. Through the establishment of Campus in Camps in 2012, an educational program in Palestinian camps, we have intervened into this condition of prolonged political exclusion in order to explore common ground, reaching beyond the idea of the camp as a site of marginalization, poverty, and political subjugation. The projects of the Collective Dictionary, the Initiatives, the Consortium, the Cycles, the Symposia, and the Tree School are our theoretical, community-based, and practical approaches to exploring the architecture of exile in Palestinian refugee camps. The Concrete Tent, a common space that deals with the paradox of temporariness, manifests the fundamental right of return.
