  Gwangju Folly III: Folly & Everyday Life?Taste And Beauty

  등록일 :

  Gwangju Folly III: Folly & Everyday Life—Taste And Beauty With the follies at Parc de la Villette, architect Bernard Tschumi played with the ambivalent notions that have the same pronunciation; "folly," as those strange structures and "folie," as in that for "lunatic," trying to go beyond the limitations of the existing urban context. In other words, folly in its modern terms is an unstructured mechanism that pushes the boundaries of the structuralized urban environment where it is situated. This is also the reason why Gwangju is focusing on folly as an alternative space to communicate with the public while overcoming the constraints of the existing city. In order to go further beyond the city’s history and foster accessibility while succeeding the fruits of the previous Gwangju Folly I and II in a productive manner, we chose everyday life in the city as the key concept of the new folly project. It is also the cross point where the abstract and the truth in urban experiences meet each

  Introduction by Maria Lind

  THE EIGHTH CLIMATE (WHAT DOES ART DO?) Introduction by Maria Lind An image showing the top part of a champagne glass filled with petrol cast against a black background catches my attention. The liquid glistens in blue, yellow, and pink, almost like the famous photos of the Earth taken from space. As one of the substances of our planet, oil is assumed to follow its physical laws, but the image says otherwise. The horizon of the oil is tilted, creating an upward slope read from the left, or a downward hill read from the right. Not only is a new geography emerging, but laws of physics different from the ones we know. When I set eyes on this seductive image on the computer in Agnieszka Polska’s Berlin studio during my GB11 research it becomes a condensed picture of a condition, a condition in which many things are askew. Looking at Tellus from a distance—however beautiful—reveals climate change on macro levels, with the use of fossil fuels propelling the process. At the same time, it shows

Opening week of the 11th Gwangju Biennale “The Eighth Climate (What Does Art Do?)” The 11th Gwangju Biennale 2 September–6 November 2016 Exhibition Preview: 31 August–1 September 2016 Professional Opening: 1 September 2016, 18:00 Forum: To All the Contributing Factors: September 2–4, 2016 www.the8thclimate.org The exhibition part of the 11th Gwangju Biennale entitled “The Eighth Climate (What Does Art Do?)” opens to the public on 2 September 2016. The title is not a “theme” or a “concept,” but rather indicates a set of parameters of GB11. It is about placing art center stage, art’s capacity to always say something about the future, connect dots over small and big distances, embeddedness in particular situations, and mediation. What happens if we try to tease out more of the artworks in this eclectic, kaleidoscopic, and puzzling adventure? If we accept their invitation to engage, and take the

  Interview with Artistic Director Maria Lind and Curator Binna Choi

  등록일 :

  Seoul Art Guide Interview with Maria Lind, artistic director, and Binna Choi, curator originally published on Seoul Art Guide 2016.8 Vol 176 (Aug. issue) Due to the effects of gentrification, art’s role in society which used to receive spotlight as the vitalization in stagnation region is receiving skepticism. What are your thoughts on art’s role in society? ML+BC: In GB11, engagement with “the land” has emerged as one of the concerns that numerous artists are critically and creatively dealing with, and within that gentrification has a given place. For example, Apolonija Sustersic and Dari Bae have been working with the Nuribom community in the Duam-dong area, Gwangju, who feel a strange limbo between an impulse for development and a sense of stagnation. What’s most at stake here is how the community takes into their own hands what it can mean to live in common and take part in planning and any necessary change, not driven by external measures of value and top down urban planning.
