Eu Zên teaser

This is the teaser for the 10th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, good life(Eu Zên) held from September 6 to November 18, 2018, at the Seoul Museum of Art and Seoullo Media Canvas. The Biennale adopted the concept and title of good life(Eu Zên), drawn from the ideas of ancient Greek philosophers. The notion of a “good life” allows for countless possibilities and interpretations, influenced by elements such as time, space, and culture. Therefore, to understand what constitutes a “good life” for each individual, a space for continuous discussion and inquiry is essential. For this reason, this edition’s Biennale moved away from the conventional exhibition format centered solely on artworks. Instead, lectures, workshops, and programs took place throughout the entire duration of the Biennale, transforming the museum into a space for dialogue where the public and private intersect. In addition, to realize the Biennale as a site of meaning-making through difference, a directorial collective was formed, consisting of four professionals from various fields: dance critic Nam Soo Kim, independent curator Jang Un Kim, director of The Book Society Kyung Yong Lim, and head of the Global Political Economy Institute Gibin Hong.
