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.

Eastside Projects, Birmingham

self-presentation:

Eastside Projects makes art public. We are an artist-run multiverse, commissioning, producing, and presenting experimental art practices and demonstrating ways in which art may be useful as part of society. Eastside Projects provides vital infrastructure, supports best practice, and works to expand the role of the artist-run space. Alongside imagining, testing, and modeling a free public gallery, we are increasingly engaged in an expanded range of public activities—we devise public art strategies, serve as commissioning agents, produce national public art programs, and create structures to support artists locally, nationally, and internationally. We do not make art for the public; we are the public that makes art. We are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organization in partnership with Birmingham City University, founded in 2008.
