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.

98Weeks, Beirut

self-presentation:

98weeks is an artist organization and a project space founded by Marwa Arsanios and Mirene Arsanios on 31 October 2007. It is conceived as a research project that shifts its attention to a new topic every 98 weeks. The research develops and is carried through specific methodologies combining theory and practice, thinking through artistic experiences and practices, and testing new theoretical modes of inquiry as a way to generate knowledge. Since its inception, 98weeks has privileged process-based forms of artistic activities such as reading groups, workshops (Beirut Every Other Day: The Ruin in the City with Lara Almarcegui and Cecilia Anderson, September 2008; As Long as I am Walking with Francis Alÿs and Cuauhtémoc Medina, December 2008). These working modalities act hand in hand with research topics, such as Beirut’s urban space, or On Publications, in which we invited readers to rethink through historical art publications published in Arabic; and Feminisms, including the feminisms forum on the relation between labor, capital, and institutions and the online magazine Makhzin.
