Annual Report is developed around three principal components.
The first part, On the Road, through a series of travelling exhibitions will serve as a report on cultural manifestations occuring between 2007 and 2008. The second component, Position Papers, is a platform dedicated to a series of five focused, small scale curatorial proposals and experiments in exhibition practice by a diverse group of curators.
The third element, Insertions, will take the format of a series of new projects commissioned or invited specifically for the biennale.
The Gwangju Biennale Foundation



Under the title 'Annual Report', the 7th Gwangju Biennale assembles the diverse activities and practices of contemporary art without any particular theme. It comprises a series of selected traveling exhibitions invited to use the biennale as a destination, a stop on the touring itinerary in the global exhibition network. By inviting exhibitions to the biennale, the aim is not simply to make an exhibition about exhibitions or to debate the principles of curatorial culture. Rather, exhibitions are understood here as fundamental expressions of cultural and intellectual practice, and as such have gone beyond being understood as a form of reflection or forum of debate for art.

The Biennale is designed around three components, 'On the Road', 'Position Papers', and 'Insertions'.  'On the Road' is a report on recent exhibitions that have occurred or exhibited elsewhere between 2007-2008. 'Position Papers' is a platform dedicated to the curatorial proposals and experiments in exhibition making by emerging curators. 'Insertions' takes on the format of a limited series of new projects commissioned specifically for the biennale. As said by Hyunjin Kim, 'Through this composition, we pursue the continuous diversification and the new potentiality of the key elements of contemporary art - exhibition, curator, artist, artwork. Also, by breaking away from a particular exhibition theme, we avoid homogeneity in the search for, a stratified discourse and distinctive, complicated, heterogeneous, and layered aesthetic languages and attitudes.'

Misagreement

Overpopulation of maps outnumber and exceed places and routes depicted. Compulsory decommissioning and mass hand-in surrender amnesty enforced. Contraband rolled, folding, split, cut, broken and torn up; raw loads fed inside every shredder exit other side somewhat revised; ribbons and strips get ground and crushed down to powder; any stubborn microbe snowflake confetti survivors remaining leftover become pulped, molten, leaking; outpour spills unleashed deluge flood; discharge eruption spreads far, deep, wide, rising, invincible.

Supervisory sun, moon and star light rays and beams strain, blow and push outwardly, searching, focused. Flick-switch and harp and lyre cord struck and played being megalithic lead and granite rigging, sails, flag and trailing streamers. These dependents cling onto and feed off totemic widow-maker telegraph pole; mast, driven and bolted securely through seaworthy and watertight life-raft; basket and carpet, nest-built and woven using only butterfly wings, shed petals, sloughed scales, moulted feathers and autumn leaves; platform, resting and balanced on buoyant anvil float.

Propellers, screws, paddlewheels, turbine-jets, oars and rudders frantically stir, whisk, churn, shake, unsettle and scramble murky stagnancy so much they bring about rebirth, cleansing, freshness and purity, all anew.

This laundry steam-iron and heavy-duty pile-driver trouser-presses and panel-beats often turbulent billowing waves ridden over; perseverance kept up, sustained, constant; until even, flat, smooth, slow, calm, nearly still.

Blades and teeth in the galley conduct precision-surgery removal, uplifting vast liquid sheets; entire skins scraped and taken right away from support; same operations incise and engrave bite-mark potholes into marine surface; also, burial-mound molehill blisters stay malingering around after them.

Chained anchor cast -albeit forwards and aloft, flown as kite. Clouds landed upon, caught and grabbed stretch tether tight, pulling hard enough, their sheer traction drags and steers craft along.

Oceans, by now run out and grown tired of, coast and shore on dry land is sought, then found. Steep cliffs, high rooftops, mountain peaks, obstacles, conquests scaled, crossed, passed, left behind. Sadly, leash retracts, vessel ends up stranded and soon forgotten in the sky.

Chung Seoyoung in Visionaire 57, 2010

11 Mercer Street New York City 10013 USA 
57 2010, a massive survey of the global art scene, resulted in a digital desk calendar and Visionaire’s first-ever electric issue, sponsored, appropriately, by Smart to celebrate its new electric car. Featuring 365 artworks chosen by fifty-two curators (one for each week of the year), 2010 boasted more content than any other Visionaire issue — as well as one special bonus. For Tom Sachs’s artwork, landing on October 1, the artist submitted a billboard for his own website. Readers who visited the site on that day and entered their name were sent a personalized Klein tool bag containing a limited-run Tom Sachs lighter, playing cards, artist’s zine, and Sharpie marker. Some said it made their whole year.
