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.

self-presentation:

All questions, the moment they are articulated, form a paradigm that already anticipates a certain truth. By acknowledging that, we could stop indulging in outmoded questions or obsolete operations of thought, because, regardless of where you go, somebody has already been there. The inherently questioning nature of kim—its initials stand for “kas ir māksla?” meaning “what is art?”—its stubborn diligence, and its watchfulness help enable the production of a wide variety of material to guide its audience. kim? records manifold ways in which the making of art can be performed, as well as dealing with more local peculiarities and perplexities and, again, ever changing ideas of what art is.
