  Gwangju Folly II

  등록일 :

  Since the mid-17th century, in literature and in architecture, the folly has been employed as a detour into delirium: nonetheless, a critical medium, oscillating between aesthetic autonomy and social-political potential. As a spatial intervention, the folly can be understood as a rupture, a strategic site questioning the constraints of norms. Gwangju Folly II director Nikolaus Hirsch and curators Philipp Misselwitz and Eui Young Chun have developed a curatorial approach that exploits the ambiguities of a folly as a critical tool of inquiry to address the condition of public space. Since the May 18, 1980 Democratic Uprising, the negotiation of public space in Gwangju has played a crucial role in the political transformation of South Korea?it has even come to signify a model for effective political mobilization. Contextualizing the potential of spatial interventions, the eight newly commissioned follies here seek to test the constitution of public space today?in contemporary Gwangju as w

  Gwangju Redefines the Biennale as a Series of Mutable Possibilities

  등록일 :

  Tintin Wulia, Nous ne notons pas les fleurs, Fort Ruigenhoek, 2011, Game performance and installation view, Courtesy of the Artist and Kaap/Stichting Storm. Amidst the incessant march of an ever-growing number of international biennales and the archetypal behemoth, multi-sensory biennale-as-ultimate-cultural-maker-cum-social-event, it takes a certain degree of self-assured conviction to present a non-monumental series of narratives around such open-ended principles as non-hierarchical mutuality and dialogue. Yet this is exactly what ROUNDTABLE: The 9th Gwangju Biennale seeks to do. Collaboratively shaped by six Co-Artistic Directors and six interrelating subthemes, ROUNDTABLE confronts us with divergent reflections on a central hypernym. Logging In and Out of Collectivity explores the navigation between evolving constructs of the 'individual’ vs. the 'collective’ and the entanglement of seemingly dissimilar histories at moments of crisis. Re-visiting History presents history in flux, c

  Announcing the 92 artists and collectives participating in ROUNDTABLE: The 9th Gwangju Biennale

  등록일 :

  ROUNDTABLE is best understood as a series of overlapping modalities, rather than a unified polemic. Reflecting the diversity of its six Co-Artistic Directors ── Nancy Adajania, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Mami Kataoka, Sunjung Kim, Carol Yinghua Lu, and Alia Swastika ── ROUNDTABLE is articulated by six subthemes: Logging In and Out of Collectivity / Re-visiting History / Transient Encounters / Intimacy, Autonomy and Anonymity / Back to the Individual Experience / Impact of Mobility on Space and Time. Its structure acknowledges the impossibility of unconditional collaboration and the potential for non-hierarchical exchange. Drawn from over 44 countries, ROUNDTABLE’s participants are not delineated by any presumed geographic, thematic or material approach. Their work presents overlapping and contrary perspectives on ROUNDTABLE’s subthemes, exploring issues of isolation, migration, mass communication, and the relationship between group trauma, memory and history, effectively expressing divergent
