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.

Konsthall C, Stockholm

self-presentation:

Our names are Jens Strandberg and Jenny Richards, and we run Konsthall C, a public art gallery in Hökarängen, a suburb of Stockholm. Konsthall C is situated in the neighborhood's community laundromat. Since January 2015, we have been running the exhibition program Home Works, which responds to Konsthall C’s location, investigating the politics of domestic work and the home. Home Works coincided with the fortieth anniversary of the UN-certified “Women’s Year” (2015), which sought to place the struggle of women upon an international agenda. That same year, Nordic feminists gained some of their most significant ground in Iceland, when the country came to a standstill, as 90 percent of women went on strike in the “Women’s Day Off” (24 October 1975). Home Works draws attention to these historical events through a series of commissions and exhibitions with artists including Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Ciara Phillips, Joanna Lombard, and Stephan Dillemuth. We question how we can resist the contemporary organization of work, and reshape its gendered division.
