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.

Museo Experimental el Eco, Mexico City

self-presentation:

Parting from the artistic and philosophical legacy of Mathias Goeritz, the Museo Experimental el Eco constitutes a sounding board and tension between the contributions of modernism and contemporary culture. As a university museum, it is a platform for knowledge that encourages experimentation, freedom, and risk, and helps to activate artistic practices around spatial reflection. The Eco is a space open to the diversity of artistic languages and its distinct processes, conforming a platform for education, knowledge, and dialogue; its programs and activities generate a sense of community and have an impact on the complex web of political, social, and cultural relations, staying flexible and docile toward the continuous changes that art, thought, and society experience. Therefore, it is part of a gear that moves for transformation with institutional rigor, and promotes the possibility of change starting from the parameters, and that integrates and includes proposals from other areas (social, political, geographical, and aesthetic).
