Framed Intimacy +, at 15th Gwangju Biennale in group show Important Questions, 7 September – 1 December 2024
Important Questions is a group exhibition that can be read as a temporary collective installation that uses the art-object and audience dynamic. There is an ambition in understanding and there is a resistance in knowing, this goes for both artists and the audience. Art is widely accepted as a vehicle for knowledge production, messaging and education of the public. Institutional forces embrace art and artistic initiatives that refer to a socially critical subtext. Biennales play a major role in guiding audiences and their conception of art, directly or indirectly. It is within this context that Important Questions questions how messaging, consumption and quantifiability can be aligned with a creative process driven by play, intuition, curiosity and desire.
Artists: Paul Geelen, Jing He, Bodil Ouédraogo, Nayul Kim, Marc Oosting, Alban Karsten
