Premise
“The Eighth Climate (What Does Art Do?)” is the title of GB11. It 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 as much as possible of the artworks in this
eclectic, kaleidoscopic, and puzzling adventure? If we accept their
invitation to engage, and take their interpellation more at face value?
One of the things which we might end up doing is to enter a dance of
futurity where the past is neither completely forgotten nor a guiding
light. In this sense, GB11 is a temperature check of art today.
Composition
GB11 is also a constellation of many parts happening over one year,
starting in January 2016. Thinking thoroughly about what art does—
without necessarily implying a utilitarian approach—how artworks land
in different contexts, and how they sit in society and create ripples on
the water, GB11 comprises Monthly Gatherings, or Wol-rae-hoe, made

The 11th Gwangju Biennale 2016
“The Eighth Climate (What Does Art Do?)”
together with the local curatorial associates Mite-Ugro in Gwangju
(GB11 curatorial associates), an Infra-School in Gwangju, Seoul, and
beyond, around a hundred national and international Biennale Fellows,
a Forum with the Fellows, two publications and a blog designed by
Metahaven, as well as an exhibition which stretches from the Gwangju
Biennale building to other venues and places in the city, including Asia
Culture Center and the 5.18 Archives, and online.
“The Eighth
Climate”
The “eighth climate” of the exhibition’s title refers to a state, or inter
world, one might reach using imaginative capacities. The notion of the
eighth climate dates back to 12th century Persian mystic and philosopher
Sohrevardi, and was elaborated by 20th century French philosopher
Henri Corbin. It is an addition to the seven physical climates of the Earth
identified by ancient Greek geographers. Unlike the seven Earthly climates,
the eighth climate is not based on a separation of matter and spirit, history
and myth; rather, it is ontologically real and has concrete effects. It is
characterized by its imaginative qualities and potentiality. In this way, the
eighth climate shows interesting parallels with how contemporary art is
functioning.
The eighth climate might well resonate with global warming. However, in
the context of GB11, the eighth climate helps us explore art’s capacity to
say and do something about the future, without either being paralyzed
by its prospects or defaulting to established technologies of prediction.
The eighth climate evokes art as a seismograph, detecting change before
other means of observation, whether the artists are conscious of it or
not, allowing for slightly different—and perhaps ambiguous and conflictual
perspectives on how art engages with what lies ahead of us. This neither
implies art for art’s sake nor a utilitarian approach. It is not about “art for
art’s sake” but rather about “art itself”.

Monthly Gatherings & Infra-School
Monthly
Gatherings
Wol-rae-hoe
Monthly Gatherings—Wol-rae-hoe—is a series of informal gatherings in
Gwangju, on different scales, running January–October 2016. The term is
used in Korea for regular gatherings after scheduled work time at workplaces.
Each GB11 Monthly Gathering focuses on art and Gwangju and goes on for
two to three days. It is a collaboration between Mite-Ugro, the local curatorial
associates of GB11, and the curatorial team. Mite-Ugro’s project space in
the Daein Market is the main venue for the events, and the participants are
GB11 artists, students, citizens, and initiatives, primarily from Gwangju. The
purpose of the Monthly Gathering program is to bring closer together the
Gwangju Biennale and the art world in Gwangju, especially its younger sections,
through face-to-face contact and formal as well as informal exchanges and
conversations. The activities of Monthly Gathering include the donation-based
Mite-Ugro Art and Theory Book Collection, group readings, artists screenings,
The Art Work in Focus Discussion Groups, and Curated Walks, and they have
all been developed based on perceived needs of the local art scene. For more
information on each activity visit http://www.the8thclimate.org/en/monthly_
gatherings/
Infra-School
The Infra-School is a program in which GB11 connects its curatorial and artistic
knowledge to the existing formal and informal educational institutions in
Gwangju and beyond. Infra-School consists of lectures, presentations, group
discussions, and seminars by GB11 artists and curators. Instead of establishing
a new independent educational arm, the Infra-School taps into resources which
are already there and intends to multiply connections and expand relations.
In doing so, it aims at embedding GB11 in the local, regional, and national
ecosystem of art, whereby the mutual benefits and interdependence between
different entities become strengthened. Among the Infra-School associates
are Chosun University, Gwangju; Chonnam University, Gwangju; Dongduk
Women’s University, Seoul; Gwangju International Center; Hongik University,
Seoul; RAT School of Art, Seoul; The New Center, New York and online; Seoul
National University—Asia Centre; and the Inter-Asia Biennale Forum. For more

Forum & Fellows
Forum: To All
the Contributing
Factors
On 2-4 September the Forum: To All the Contributing Factors will
also take place at which the Biennale Fellows—small- to mid-scale
art organizations “differential” work is genuinely valuable to the art
ecology—peers and colleagues, artists, and other interested people
are invited to come together, share experiences, and discuss the
future of this kind of work, especially with regards to questions of
value, continuity, and scale.
Fellows
Roughly one hundred small- and medium-scale art organizations whose
work makes important contributions to the art of today are invited
as the Biennale Fellows. While being “appointed” Biennale Fellows,
they simply go on doing the great work they are engaged with in their
own contexts without being concretely involved with the Biennale in
Gwangju.
Distinct from bigger-scale art organizations such as museums, art fairs,
and biennales, these organizations often function as the research and
development department of the art world, nurturing artistic, curatorial,
educational, social and political experimentation. Above all, they
actively support artists to cultivate their practices and foster contact
and conflict zones around themselves, including neighbors and various
practitioners from other fields. What if we “connect dots” through
such a “molecular campaign” and manifest a critical mass to commit to
these shared concerns? For more information on each Biennale Fellow

Curatorial
Process
The curatorial team went on a first site visit to Gwangju in September
of 2015, together with a dozen artists with strong and relevant
practices, who were invited to make new work. They were encouraged
to think about local production in terms of materials, techniques and
skills, rather than just making straightforward site-specific or contextsensitive work. Another dozen were invited during the winter and
together with the oeuvres, practices, and methodologies of the first
group of invited artists, they indicated the direction of the exhibition,
and eventually several methodological and thematic strands were
noticed and developed. Subsequently, another seventy odd artists
have been invited to show existing works which emphasize and
complicate the various strands. Many of the art projects pertain to
Commissions

artworks in GB11.
A special mediation program has been devised taking as its
starting point ten artworks in GB11, from which shared concerns
with individuals and groups in Gwangju have been developed. The
mediation program takes the shape of reading groups, meetings,
discussion groups, special screenings etc. For more information please

more than one strand, which hint at possible readings of works rather
than aiming at firmly framing them. The strands include “above and
below ground,” “right to opacity,” “the image people,” “defiance,”
“between molecular and cosmos,” “the labor point of view,” “free
floating,” and “new subjectivities.”

Program
Asia Culture Center has stimulated art and culture in Asia and
beyond. This year, the breeding ground in Korea provides a venue to
communicate contemporary fine art for the Gwangju Biennale 2016
Special Exhibition.
International exchanges and collaborations have been growing in
the arts community, meanwhile it is a great challenge for Gwangju
to simultaneously be both local and appeal to different generations.
Along with the Gwangju Biennale, this year’s special exhibition
honors the current status of Gwangju-based artists on qualitative and
aesthetical fronts. In addition, it invites artists living abroad to share
the infinite potential of art and showcase the entire process from
producing to communicating art through multi-party networking. The
special exhibition closely examines the interaction with the past that
ends in the present and arts of today with three-dimensional displays,
consisting of paintings, sculptures, installations and media.

1. Gwangju Artists’ Exhibition: Light, Life, Matter
Oriental cosmology sees life as born out of light, and its mysteries

Artists
Starting in 2012 to foster local young artists, ‘Gwangju Biennale
Portfolio Open-call’has been renamed as Gwangju Biennale ‘Portfolio
Review Program’. Gwangju Biennale supports winners of the
competition by helping them join and do creative activities, such as the
Special Exhibition held in the Mugaksa Culture Center, studio critiques,
artists’ talks, and meetings with curators. All of these events become
the basis of a database of local artists that continues to be built and
updated, thereby strengthening the artists’ network. The artists’ work
will also be used for permanent promotional events.
Gwangju Biennale 2016 ‘Portfolio Review Program’ began receiving
artworks since 2nd of May, from artists aged around 40 or younger,
local or based in Gwangju. Out of 12 candidates selected in the first
round evaluation, the two final candidates will be selected in the
second round and will participate in the main exhibition of Gwangju

Gwangju Folly, Harmony of Art and Architecture
Gwangju Folly
The ‘Gwangju Folly’ showcases small-scale architectural artworks (follies)
designed by world-renowned architects and artists. The art project
creates historically and culturally contextual creative space where public
communications occur. The Folly serves as a base to inspire urban
regeneration and enhance the city’s brand value.
The Gwangju Biennale Foundation has endeavored to help citizens enjoy
culture and art in their day-to-day lives with multiple programs engaging
individual citizens, locally based art and culture organizations, and civil
society. For example, the Gwangju Folly Tour Program and the Folly
project, which generate indigenous art and cultural activities. In this
way, the Gwangju follies function as public spaces at the center of city,
creating a new community culture that revitalizes the city’s atmosphere.
Democracy, Human Rights and Peace.
Gwangju Folly I (2011) :
Urban Regeneration and the Restoration of History
Folly I started as a special project of the Gwangju Design
Biennale 2011. A total of 11 follies were installed in the
Gwangju Eupsung (old city fortress).The follies provided
a modern interpretation to restore the legacies of how
the city conceived itself throughout its history.
(Director: Nikolaus Hirsch / Artists and Architects: 15
participants on 8 teams from 9 countries)
Gwangju Folly III (2016) :

creative urban architecture: follies.
(Director: Seung H-Sang / Artists and Architects: 12 participants
on 11 teams from 6 countries)
Gwangju Folly II (2013) :
