GWANGJU BIENNALE 2018 /IMAGINED BORDERS
In the film, the ruins of ali are shown. The city of Ani is located on the eastern side of Turkey. The deep, wide and long river valley cuts out the vast grassland of the plateau. A search for the Ali past, once Armenia's stately capital, is now a forgotten ruin. There is only the wind and the children's game of hide and seek, the whistle blows from time to time, and the huge stone building site stands there silently. No one knows that the centenarian of the Armenian Genocide happened here. At last the children fell asleep on the stone, as if waiting for someone to awaken, to awaken the memories of the past，It also makes me ponder that the border has become an inextinguishable and untouchable line of defense in the history of the two countries. No cemetery was visible at the scene, and those who had lived there a thousand years ago did not know that the formerly prosperous city had been reduced to ruins
Eight video presents the daily lives of people in the Kurdish region. The children in video are curious about the camera, showing their childlike appearance. It is the children's naughty smiling face, with deep and charming light blue eyes in the Middle East, and many refugees have lost their homes and been displaced in the Syrian civil war. Both are desperate for a warm "safe haven" where they hope to build new homes, whether cute Kurdish girls or elderly Kurdish women with deep, pale blue eyes. However, the cruel reality is hidden behind the beauty. Their living environment is very difficult. Even so, they are still full of curiosity to the world.
100 Hand drawn maps of my country this work is very interesting and impressive. I think it is very consistent with the theme of this exhibition. It looks very simple, but it touches people's hearts. In the work, Gupta asked people to draw a map of their own country based on their memories, and then put the 100 hand-drawn maps together to create a simple map. This is her ongoing research on collective memory, and she added a hand-drawn map of South Korea to the gwangju biennale. She says 90 percent of the people here draw a map of the unified Korea. You can see that the boundaries that each person conceives are different, and you can imagine the influence of history, politics, religion, collective memory "on the formation of" individual states, "shch as the lines on these maps are interwoven together.

This is my first time to see the biennale, gwangju biennale made me feel very novel, the first time I saw so many artists true appear in front of me, but I also feel tired, I can't suddenly so quickly absorb so many artists, I can't careful to observe each work, for I also have problems with language understanding. But I think exhibition arrangement of work makes me feel very admire, can make so many artists all over the country at the same time appear in the same stage, the boundary, the definition of the word in my heart also becomes rich rise, everything has its own boundaries, many works are discussed in the international society of political, cultural, ethnic, and man and nature, emotion, the boundary of the technical problems. In gwangju, a city with a long history, we also visited the gwangju's national army hospital and other installation art works. In this exhibition, many artists work involved in the gwangju movement and spread the far-reaching significance of the democratic movement internationally.
In Gustav class, the teacher brought forward a very interesting phenomenon. He asked us to count the number of men and women curators, including the number of artists, and to think about whether there was any difference between male and female artists in the exhibition of their works. Before that, I did not think so deeply about the exhibition, because when I saw an exhibition,First,i will observing the work itself, and then looking at the author himself, but from the past to the contemporary society, male artists always overwhelm female artists. Why is the value of female artists always inferior to that of male artists? Is it true that female artists'works are inferior to that of male artists? I think this has something decide by with the curators. If the number of male curators is much larger than that of female curators, there will be fewer works of female artists in the exhibition and fewer works entering the auction house. If curators or society give more opportunities to female artists, I believe that the art market will gradually eliminate gender difference.
