$50/week or $20/day with volunteer opportunities
GIM GWANG CHEOL [GWANGJU, SOUTH KOREA]
Gim Gwang Cheol is a performance artist renown in his native South Korea and around the world. The first week of May, he offers a workshop at Grace Exhibition Space focused on the uses of timing, sound, music, gesture, and objects in the creation of performance art. His Performance Art Academy has previously taken place in South Korea and Bangladesh.
The artist relates power with language. Language is power, and language forms civilization, civilization needs power from society. The human mouth has a weapon called language that produces absolute power. Power never changes but the form changes. Form can change by time and place but the characteristics never change. The individual creatures that exist inside cannot be ever free in that society.

This is how performance art is meant to be experienced and our mission is the glorification of performance art.
