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.

Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon

self-presentation:

This diagram presents a tentative, non-normative model of institutional activity that reflects Kunsthalle Lissabon’s ongoing commitment to imagining other ways of instituting. At its center is a hijacked definition of radical hospitality, defined by ideas of generosity, solidarity, and sociability. These can be considered the raw materials the institution needs to operate. The outcomes of institutional activity perceived in this way exist outside of the institution, in the world, and can be understood in terms of criticality, friendship, and production. Criticality is the ongoing reflection/speculation that may or may not materialize in the form of production. Friendship is the long-lasting relationship established with its constituency (audience, artists, writers, technicians, sponsors, etc.). Production relates to the public output of the act of instituting, whether in the form of exhibitions, publications, discursive programs, or any other public activity. These three categories are hierarchically equivalent, and in this lies a possibility for thinking of the world otherwise.
