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.

Cráter Invertido, Mexico City

self-presentation:

Cooperativa Cráter Invertido exploded on 16 September, 2012. In the spring of 2013, we ignited an “Editorial Movement” at Casa del Lago, a space and time dedicated to self-publishing and collective study, transforming this experience into our small press, named Cráneo Invertido, thanks to the Arts Collaboratory network. In 2013, twenty years after the Zapatista uprising, we participated in a collective exhibition at La Curtiduría with Pabellón 1994, which consisted of a series of object-actions used to ritualize and discuss images produced by the media, as well as resistance and power, during a state of neoliberal contemporary reality in Mexico. In 2014, we moved to a house in San Cosme where a communal dinner is organized each Thursday by members of the network. That same year Okwui Enwezor invited us to participate in the 56th Venice Biennale, “All the World’s Futures,” 2015, where we showed a big collective drawing. We revisited that piece for the Jakarta Biennale, “Neither Back Nor Forward: Acting in the Present,” 2015, showing fragments of it as part of an illogical calendar called “Today.” Now, Cráter Invertido hosts a free media experience and sound editorial (Radio Tropiezo), a co-op of co-ops dedicated to the full editorial cycle (Taller de Producción Editorial), an animation unlearning seminar (Vacaciones de Trabajo), plus more informal seminars and working groups … and some uninvited rats … welcome! In a sentence: Cráter Invertido is continuity; together or separately, we are a real imaginary process.
