Yeosu
International Art Festival is a biennial event that will be held from September
4th to September 21st 2014 at various locations (GS Caltex Yeulmaru, Chonnam
University Art Center, and Chonnam University Art Gallery).
Marking 2014, as the 5th successful consecutive
year to hold Yeosu International Art Festival, Yeosu city hopes the hosting of
this festival will show the ability to dissolve rapidly developing urbanism of
Yeosu and changes of our world communities at large by empathizing with the
more intimate and mature Art themes. Diverse Artists will introduce to the
public their new creations and masterpiece, and the crowd will respond with
various proposed methodologies to the various artists work and their creations.
What
does the City require from us?
The commencement topic of 5th Yeosu
International Art Festival is "Ever-changing City".
The progression and overall development of a
city is dependent on changes in political, economic, and social conditions. We,
living in this organism like city, are at the epicenter of new change and requirements
to fit in with the City's evolution. People living must understand and accept
the community at large to really understand and accept the fundamental concepts
of the living territory.
For a City to have its' own colors and
sensitive, it takes a combination of several elements and time for it to
ferment to a level of completion.
At this International Art Festival, invited
artist-participants from 15 different unique countries gather around,
questioning and looking for answers about the local societies that they're part
of and also research into how to respond to the general standardization of
different cultures, regions, genders, analyzing how to preserve the diversity
and individuality within the local and global communities.
Through this meaningful, 5th Yeosu
Art Festival, we will look into new ways of progression for our local
communities and territories in larger scale. Through this experiment, we hope
to find new values and identities for the city of Yeosu. In addition, creating
a wider world of thought, and expression through variety of genres of
contemporary art, communicating with the locals and people abroad, the ultimate
goal of this festival is to create an opportunity for cross cultural union.
