Tourism
September 2–December 3, 2017
The first Jeju Biennale 2017 will be held in Jeju under the theme of Tourism at Jeju Museum of Art, Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art, Jeju-si original downtown, Seogwipo-si original downtown, Alddreu Airfield Area from September 2 to December 3, 2017. Jeju Biennale consists of three sections; exhibition, tour, and learning.
Jeju Biennale is a public sphere which aims to combine Jeju’s existing cultural heritage with cultural art and to intensively look into what kind of contemporary characteristics are revealed. It is a platform that induces fluid networking between activities in the cultural arts, institutions, space and people and through this networking to expand and reproduce cultural resources that are deeply rooted in Jeju society. Furthermore, it will be a start of an international networking opportunity with the aim to make a local in-depth biennale that does not neglect the social responsibility of art. Jeju Biennale aims to present a new model and vision of a biennale that encompasses discussions internationally and intervenes in local issues. Jeju Biennale anticipates being an open discussion platform where coevolution between things never imagined can be blended together.
As a new biennale, there is a need to establish a system where Jeju local residents can experience the value of the existence of the biennale. In order to establish this there will be a project called “Tamla Talks” which aims to systematically present the issues Jeju will need to solve and select the theme that Jeju Biennale will discuss. A variety of issues discussed during these talks will be collected and archived, so that it can be utilized in the future.
Internationally as touristic views on foreign places deepen, urban cities dramatically change. This is not just only in Jeju but is a common issue all over the world. In Korea, Jeju has dramatically experienced and has been confronted the most with this type of touristification (tourism + gentrification) phenomenon. Jeju Biennale aims to present this contemporary scene with an international citizen’s attitude, by linking local Jeju’s issues with contemporary art. It seeks to present an art scene where there is a close link with locality and contemporary issues rather than an intense discussion within the field of arts.
Tourism
2017 Jeju Biennale’s overall theme is Tourism. The start would be to look for aspects the biennale will need to criticize and examine solely within the boundaries within Jeju. Tourism is a subject that dominates the daily life of Jeju citizens. Jeju’s tangible and intangible resources such as its history and natural surroundings are taxidermizing or disappearing and these can also be considered as results of tourism. Furthermore, the conflict and changes seen between the native Jeju residents and immigrated Jeju residents are also centered in the theme of tourism.
