It is not Yi, Ann Lislegaard, Annie Lai Kuen Wan, Anton Vidokle, Apolonija a “theme” or a “concept,” but rather indicates a set of parameters of Šušteršic with Dari Bae, Arseny Zhilyaev, Ayesha Sultana, Azar GB11. It is about placing art center stage, art’s capacity to always say Alsharif, Babi Badalov, Barbora Kleinhamplová with Tereza Stejskalová, something about the future, connect dots over small and big distances, Bernd Krauß, Bik Van der Pol, Bona Park, Céline Condorelli, Christian embeddedness in particular situations, and mediation.

together with the local curatorial associates Mite-Ugro in Gwangju Monthly Monthly Gatherings—Wol-rae-hoe—is a series of informal gatherings in (GB11 curatorial associates), an Infra-School in Gwangju, , and Gatherings Gwangju, on different scales, running January–October 2016. The term is beyond, around a hundred national and international Biennale Fellows, Wol-rae-hoe used in Korea for regular gatherings after scheduled work time at workplaces. a Forum with the Fellows, two publications and a blog designed by Each GB11 Monthly Gathering focuses on art and Gwangju and goes on for Metahaven, as well as an exhibition which stretches from the Gwangju two to three days. It is a collaboration between Mite-Ugro, the local curatorial Biennale building to other venues and places in the city, including Asia associates of GB11, and the curatorial team. Mite-Ugro’s project space in Culture Center and the 5.18 Archives, and online. the Daein Market is the main venue for the events, and the participants are GB11 artists, students, citizens, and initiatives, primarily from Gwangju. The “The Eighth The “eighth climate” of the exhibition’s title refers to a state, or inter purpose of the Monthly Gathering program is to bring closer together the Climate” world, one might reach using imaginative capacities. The notion of the Gwangju Biennale and the art world in Gwangju, especially its younger sections, eighth climate dates back to 12th century Persian mystic and philosopher through face-to-face contact and formal as well as informal exchanges and Sohrevardi, and was elaborated by 20th century French philosopher conversations. The activities of Monthly Gathering include the donation-based Henri Corbin. It is an addition to the seven physical climates of the Earth Mite-Ugro Art and Theory Book Collection, group readings, artists screenings, identified by ancient Greek geographers. Unlike the seven Earthly climates, The Art Work in Focus Discussion Groups, and Curated Walks, and they have the eighth climate is not based on a separation of matter and spirit, history all been developed based on perceived needs of the local art scene. For more and myth; rather, it is ontologically real and has concrete effects. It is information on each activity visit http://www.the8thclimate.org/en/monthly_ characterized by its imaginative qualities and potentiality. In this way, the gatherings/ eighth climate shows interesting parallels with how contemporary art is functioning. 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 The eighth climate might well resonate with global warming. However, in Gwangju and beyond. Infra-School consists of lectures, presentations, group the context of GB11, the eighth climate helps us explore art’s capacity to discussions, and seminars by GB11 artists and curators. Instead of establishing say and do something about the future, without either being paralyzed a new independent educational arm, the Infra-School taps into resources which by its prospects or defaulting to established technologies of prediction. are already there and intends to multiply connections and expand relations. The eighth climate evokes art as a seismograph, detecting change before In doing so, it aims at embedding GB11 in the local, regional, and national other means of observation, whether the artists are conscious of it or ecosystem of art, whereby the mutual benefits and interdependence between not, allowing for slightly different—and perhaps ambiguous and conflictual different entities become strengthened. Among the Infra-School associates perspectives on how art engages with what lies ahead of us. This neither are Chosun University, Gwangju; Chonnam University, Gwangju; Dongduk implies art for art’s sake nor a utilitarian approach. It is not about “art for Women’s University, Seoul; Gwangju International Center; Hongik University, art’s sake” but rather about “art itself”.
