Opening tomorrow! Anocha's new film, NARRATIVE, will be unveiled at 서울시립미술관 Seoul Museum of Art. Commissioned by Seoul Mediacity Biennale, NARRATIVE is a prologue to Anocha's next feature, FICTION, and will be on view at SeMa from August 26 until November 23.
The 13th Seoul Mediacity Biennale 𝘚𝘦́𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦: 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 will present new and existing work from artists around the world, past and present, who have drawn on occult, mystical, and spiritual traditions. Key to the 13th edition is that these alternative “technologies” contest the accelerationist and rationalistic logics of capitalist modernity, and might therefore resist—and reconfigure—the political and intellectual structures that shape our experience. This “exhibition-as-séance” draws on the long history of attempts to contact worlds beyond waking life and seeks to outline how this engagement transformed the languages and methods of artistic production.
Seoul Mediacity Biennale announces that 49 artists and collectives will participate in the 2025 edition of the Biennale, titled 𝘚𝘦́𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦: 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 . Starting with the revolutionary practice of artists-mediums such as Georgiana Houghton, Hilma af Klint, Onisaburo Deguchi, and Emma Kunz, the Biennale will spiral out to encompass the influence of shamanism on Nam June Paik and Joseph Beuys, transcendental experience in the early experimental films of Maya Deren and Jordan Belson, and on to the work of contemporary artists engaged with the diverse traditions and thematics of the occult, enchantment, and magic. The curators state that “This show offers an opportunity to trace that lineage historically, and to understand these attempts as emancipatory and reparative. We are deeply honored to be working with a group of such gifted artists on this unusual project.”
