Follies by David Adjaye & Taiye Selasi, Ai Weiwei, Seok-hong Go & Mihee Kim, Rem Koolhaas & Ingo Niermann, Raqs Media Collective, Do-Ho Suh & Suh Architects, Superflex, Eyal Weizman with Samaneh Moafi.
"The eight follies present a \u0027detour into delirium\u0027 throughout the city of Gwangju, and at times they are even moving targets (on the metro or a mobile hotel), galvanizing the space between the everyday and the utopian, examining the present-day constitution of public space as a political arena"--Gwangju Biennale website.
"The Gwangju Folly II is accompanied by a publication that takes the form of a fragmented glossary of associative thoughts and images, alongside more shrewd scholarly investigations, co-edited by assistant curator April Lamm, situating the eight new follies within a broader cultural discourse. It includes an especially commissioned photo insert by Bas Princen and contributions by Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Barry Bergdoll, Caruso St John and Thomas Demand, Joan Didion, Hu Fang, Hans Hollein, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Kyong Park, Felicity D. Scott, Stephen Squibb, Philip Ursprung, among many others"--Gwangju Biennale website.
