The 'glocal' is the key inspiration for the second edition of art gwangju, which runs from 1 - 4 September.
This year's event been developed around four projects aimed at giving it a point of difference from other art fairs: Museum Outlet, where non-profit institutions and museums will present editioned works for sale along with a solo or two-person show of emerging artists they have been working with; Videolet, which focuses on new media, ensuring that art gwangju also serves as a video art fair; Art & Company, a platform for collaborations between contemporary art and companies seeking creative corporate branding; and Double Democracy, a curated exhibition exploring a notion of cultural democracy within new markets and the roles of technologies and performance in introducing art to new audiences.
