The Fifth Gwangju Biennale will break with past hierarchies which divided the exhibitions into Main Exhibition and Special Exhibition. Rather, it will be divided into Theme Exhibition and Sites, each one located on a special site.
Theme Exhibition will be a cultural production space, a new way for the team of participating artist and national or international Viewer-participant to express more clearly their artwork organization and the direction of the exhibition. The sixty couples of participating artists and Viewer-participants will exchange ideas on the essential components of the cultural environment implicated in the subject and, by amplifying vital cultural echoes, present a visual spectrum of the culture of art and an array of brilliant imaginations.
The exhibition spaces will be filled with rich visual installations of projects expressing cultural and social issues, in a broad aesthetic context, as well as a variety of activities of the Viewer-participants. Their works will present phenomenological parallels and an active or subdued aesthetic apparatus, while functioning as a flexible space for discussion. They will serve as examples of a new theory of the spectator inspired by the Biennale. At the same time, ten or so individual artists will share three exhibition spaces, where, by stretching to the maximum the effect of exhibition installation according to the concept and composition of each space, they will energize the whole of the exhibition.
Finally, there will be a space reserved for "The Club", a complex cultural space where installations and videos will alternate, and where jazz and Latin dance, events large and small, seminars, and much more will take place.
