Screening Conversation 1 video documentation

2019.12.20

This is a video documentation of the conversation between Yung Ma, Artistic Director of the 11th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, and artist Minerva Cuevas, held during the Biennale’s pre-program Screening on December 6, 2019, at the Seoul Cinema Theatre hall 5.
The Screening program was composed of works closely aligned with the Biennale’s thematic focus—highlighting the power of contemporary art and popular culture. It explored the idea that the escapist imagination found in fantasy and superhero films could, paradoxically, offer a way to reflect on current realities and become a catalyst for envisioning change in everyday life.
Alongside daily screenings, the program featured discussions with artists and curators, offering audiences insights into the curatorial process, the issues at stake, and the artists’ creative ideas. These conversations served as a central point for expanding the curatorial scope of the Biennale. The screenings were held at Seoul Cinema in Jongno, a venue chosen to emphasize the Biennale’s interest in moving images and its references to mass media.
