The Third Sector_Citizen Program: 1.4 Million Torches

The Third Sector_Citizen Program : 1.4 Million Torches is designed to connect the Biennale with the citizens of Gwangju and the general public. This program accentuates the site-specificity of Gwangju while conceptually and practically linking The First Chapter and The Last Chapter through the words "Root" and "Route" as a conceptual device to trace Asian traditions and aesthetics and to seek a new identity. This program is composed of diverse events including 'Open Biennale (festivals)' and 'Art Orchestra (Open Call Exhibition).'
