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.

Pro qm, Berlin

self-presentation:

Pro qm is a thematic bookstore founded in 1999 by Katja Reichard, Jesko Fezer, and Axel Wieder in Berlin-Mitte. Focusing on urbanism and its relation to politics, pop, architecture, design, art, and theory, the bookshop makes a careful selection of critical literature, magazines, records, and other printed matter from international, often specialized and small-scale publishers available. The shop is organized along relevant interdisciplinary topics, including questions of self-organization, politics of public space, and design methodologies, and invites research and discussion. Pro qm hosts frequent events around publications, such as talks, film screenings, but also concerts and exhibitions, and organizes temporary shops and presentations in other places, including Documenta 12 in Kassel (together with b_books), the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, and Witte de With in Rotterdam.
