The 21th century art residency and new institutional collaborations
The new century has witnessed the transformation of the art world ensued by the rapid change of our cultural environment. International biennials and art residencies, especially those held on the Asian continent and other non-western countries, have appeared as a new impetus to claim the institutional remapping of the international art world from the 1990s onwards.
Art residencies, the major platforms for cosmopolitan artists to explore their nomadic spirits, come to create on-going dialogues with their local communities in which they are situated and with international society through their wide range of creative activities. Over the years, residencies have extended the traditional function of art museums by linking the local and the global as well as focusing on the participation and communication issues with their diverse programs. Furthermore, they have increased their visibilities and expanded their influences through their collaborative efforts with museums and other institutions.
This conference, “The 21st Century Art Residency and New Institutional Collaborations,” will provide an opportunity to investigate the possibilities that arise when art residencies, museums, and other institutions collaborate. It will provide a forum to consider many benefits, both conceptual and practical, for museums, and other institutions forming multifarious partnerships.

GYEONGGI CREATION CENTER OPEN
October 29th (Thu) 2009. 2pm
Gyeonggi Creation Center Open Field
SPONSORED BY Gyeonggi Province & Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation
ORGANIZED BY Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art & Gyeonggi Creation Center
Gyeonggi Creation Center (GCC) supports creative works and research for domestic and foreign artists through an art residency alongside a wide range of programs and facilities, including art studios, exhibitions, local collaboration, international exchange, education, artwork storage, workshop, and international summer festival. GCC acts as a platform to gather artists from all over the world for international exchange, to share a nomadic spirit, and to collectively engage and cultivate creative synergy among artists of various genres as an experimental and progressive contemporary art center.
GCC will develop specialized programs that are both global and local, giving GCC a distinctive character from other institutions.
GCC, an affiliated organization of Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art (Gyeonggi MoMA), will apply the infrastructure of the Museum to maximize research and creative activities, and the Museum will expand on its secondary functions via alternative activities to a traditional museum through the art residency. Thus the unique identity of GCC will be founded based on the partnership between the Museum and the art residency.
