| The Gwangju Biennale Foundation and Co-Artistic Directors Seung H-Sang and Ai weiwei would like to announce the fourth edition of the Gwangju Design Biennale. It is most regrettable that Ai Weiwei, has been detained since April 3rd and his whereabouts are still officially unknown. Ai Weiwei has been working on the Gwangju Design Biennale since June 2010. His involvement and enthusiasm has made the Biennale a rich, dynamic and participatory event. The title theme of this year’s Biennale is DOGADOBISANGDO – “Design is Design is Not Design.” With works by more than 300 artists, designers, and architects from 40 countries, the six sub-themes of the Biennale—Thematic, Named, Un-Named, Communities, Biennale City, and Urban Follies—constitute a fundamental re-examination of design and present the changing concepts, practices and potential of contemporary design. | ||
