  The Event Identity Program (EIP) was developed to visually portray the identity of this year’s concept of ‘The Eighth Climate (What does art do?)’.

The development of this year’s EIP was undertaken by designer Jaewon Seok, who was awarded Gold in the Graphis Poster Annual 2010, selected as the Newly Rising Design Leader in the Korea Institute of Design Promotion 2009 and selected as in the finalists for the Chicago International Poster Biennial 2008. The characteristics of the 2016 Gwangju Biennale’s EIP are the achromatic color schemes and the arrows that represent direction, progress, motion, and destination which in turn address and emphasize the question, “What does art do?” The EIP was developed with the following keywords in mind: dynamism, movement, multidirectional, and multid

  Center Stage: What does art do?

  등록일 :

  CENTER STAGE: Maria Lind in conversation with Trevor Paglen Focusing on Art's imaginative qualities, social impact and active relationship to the future, the CENTER STAGE series directs our attention to the question: WHAT DOES ART DO? Maria Lind: An overarching question for the upcoming Gwangju Biennial, which I’m curating and you’re invited to participate in, is, "What does art do?" This is a notoriously difficult question, but one which nevertheless needs to be asked, particularly in times when infrastructural concerns tend to dominate any discussion involving art. I am thinking about the current (understandable) preoccupation with the effects of the commercial art market and populist programming in mainstream art institutions, as well as the worries among small- and medium-size agents regarding mere institutional survival.

While the former CI symbolizes will of Gwangju Biennale for harmony of the people and expansion to the world, the new CI represents identity of Gwangju Biennale that has been leading discourses of modern arts for 20 years.
