One of the most significant contemporary art events in Asia, Gwangju Biennale, celebrates 2024 its 30th anniversary under the artistic direction of Nicolas Bourriaud, with an exhibition titled “Pansori – A Soundscape of the 21st Century.”

Germany participates for the first time at the Gwangju Biennale with a national pavilion. For the German Pavilion, the artist collective Longega Project creates a space for interaction and artistic collaboration under the title “in between water – 두물마을”.

The artist collective Longega Project is named after the Ladin village of Longega (English: “in between water”) in the South Tyrolean Alps at 1,000 metres above sea level. Since 2017, it has hosted an international artist residency.

For the biennale, the Longega Project stages at the Gwangju History & Folk Museum stories as several partially walk-in installations, featuring fragments from continuous collaborations that accompany and fundamentally shape their artistic processes.
