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.

Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane

self-presentation:

The Institute of Modern Art (IMA) has been connecting Queensland and Australia to its own stories and the global art world for forty years. We commit ourselves to supporting transformative experiences for artists and audiences through commissioning, exhibiting, publishing, and hosting public programs. Projects that have resonated deeply within and around the IMA in recent years are projects through which the institution itself has been challenged along with the artists, staff, participants, and audiences who connected with them. This includes the first survey and publication on the work of Gordon Bennett since his untimely death in 2014; collaborating with Performa to present Richard Bell’s Embassy in New York, with contributions by former Black Panthers Minister of Culture Emory Douglas, Mohawk artist Alan Michelson, and co-founder of the First Nations movement Idle No More Sylvia McAdam; and rethinking what the Institute of Modern Art is and could be through our yearlong lecture series “What Can Art Institutions Do?”, which included revelatory contributions by speakers such as Charles Esche, Maria Lind, Raqs Media Collective, and Terry Smith.
