11th Gwangju Biennale

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.

Tranzit Prague, Prague

self-presentation:

tranzitdisplay is a joint project of two associations—tranzit.cz and display (2007–16). Its primary objective is to develop activities of the exhibition space in Prague with a translocal program.
transit.cz originated in 2002 from a commitment to develop a dispositif by which contemporary art institutions could critically alter the stereotypes of alienating processes, fixed identities, invisible histories, and empty aesthetics. Together with thirty-two artists, tranzit.cz engaged in a process of writing a constitution for an exhibition (Manifesta 8, 2010). As a result of four years’ research, tranzit.cz developed a series of more than ten exhibitional modules and printed an “Atlas of Transformation” that dealt with the social and economical processes after 1989 from multidisciplinary perspectives and not only in Eastern Europe.

Display is an association involved in research and production within a broader concept of art. Its main aim is to create and support artistic discourses, as well as aesthetic, social, and political ideas based on the emancipatory claims of art in the modern world. We are interested in art as a practice of the here-and-now that activates social space and interpersonal relationships and produces its own sensibility around issues alongside a political dimension. In one sentence: Waste no thought on that which cannot be changed!
