The 13th
Seoul Mediacity pre-Biennale “STATION - IMAGE COMMUNITY” will be on viewing
from July 16 to July 28 at SeMA Bunker.
“STATION
- IMAGE COMMUNITY” is organized to examine the conceptual dimensions of media
art within the continuum of its history and to activate the cultural position
of Biennale as a generative art institution via meta study on its accumulated
resources as well as creating new production and distribution.
The 33
videos and films comprising artworks exhibited in previous editions of Seoul
Mediacity Biennale as well as new invitations and commissionsㅡcollectively explore nature as a means of experiencing the
contemporary living environment, the ways in which are narrates history and
notions of interrelationship through media.
SeMA
Bunker, the main venue of this program, was originally built as a secret
shelter during Korea’s military regime in the 1970s and now operates as an
annex of SeMA that convenes diverse programs organized by the museum. Within
this historical site, artworks unfold empirical sequences in the context of
Korea’s modern history and geopolitical conditions.
The
artistic narratives recounted here vis-à-vis time-based media inquire into the
fundamental value of art creation in daily life, thereby including a
retrospective view of the Seoul Mediacity Biennale’s role as an ‘image
community’ that fosters participation and harbors common sensibilities.
