Featured Items of Gwangju Biennale
In addition to the new products that were developed using the corporate identity last year, the Gwangju Biennale Foundation has produced and launched new merchandises.
Limited editions using the EIP (Event Identity Program) of the 2016 Gwangju Biennale ‘The Eighth Climate (What does art do?)’ as well as new products incorporating Gwangju Biennale’s CI, Break the Frame, have been produced and are now available for purchase.
The variety of new items that have been launched on our shopping mall website (under Convenience Information, Purchase Catalogues) include eco bags, mug cups, handkerchiefs, and other miscellaneous items. The limited edition eco bags with the 2016 Gwangju Biennale ‘The Eighth Climate (What does art do?)’ EIP pattern printed are available in 2 colors – beige and black (10,500 KRW). Many assorted items such as aromatherapy candles (31,900 KRW), ceramic mug cups with Break the Frame corporate identity (6,500 KRW), handkerchiefs (7,800 KRW) have also been produced.
Last year, in conjunction with the development of the new Gwangju Biennale CI, art products such as leather notebooks (17,800 KRW), saddle stitch notebooks (5,000 KRW), pouches (11,000 KRW) and eco bags available in 3 types (16,000 KRW) were manufactured.
The Gwangju Biennale Foundation continues to develop new art products as it aims to publicize the Gwangju Biennale and build new revenue streams. These customary items have been developed in hopes that Gwangju Biennale could be a part of and harmonize with the daily life of everyone.
