LACMA contemporary art curators Rita Gonzalez and Christine Y. Kim are on the team of co-curators of the 12th Gwangju Biennale, Imagined Borders. Divided into seven sections, Gonzalez and Kim’s exhibition will examine the politics of participation, persuasion and power; contra-internet aesthetics; and analyses of worlds with perpetually threatened access to or without internet under the current and evolving post-internet conditions around the world. The Gwangju Biennale is the oldest international contemporary art biennial in Asia and the site of the 1980 mass protest against the former South Korean military government. Please join us for a unique presentation and discussion with the curators.
