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.

Pathshala South Asian Media Institute, Dhaka

self-presentation:

Started in 1998, Pathshala South Asian Media Institute helped pioneer photographic education in South Asia and continues to expand its activities in new media art education. Formed as an artist-run institution, the school facilitates intimate learning environments and frequent collaborations between teachers and students which take the form of experimental exhibitions and publications. Chobi Mela International Photography Festival is another outcome of Pathshala, and its partner organization Drik Picture Library, which has already completed eight editions. With various short courses and a three-year-long course on photography, the school nurtures critical engagements and discourses on regional art history, curatorial practice, visual anthropology, and long-term personal projects.
