Tour

The Jeju Biennale has developed tour programs and created diverse, engaging spaces for dialogue that align with its theme of "Tourism," offering programs that set it apart from other biennales. The tour section includes Tamna Talks, where participants can hear about Jeju’s current issues from locals; Art Olle, a visit to the studios of Jeju artists as well as cultural, artistic, and historical sites; and the Smart Tour, which allows participants to explore the Jeju Biennale and Jeju Island using their smartphones.

Here, anyone can be both a host and a guest. By listening to the voices of people from all walks of life who make up Jeju society, the program seeks to uncover Jeju's values and current issues and explore alternatives through social art.

Art Olle

- Location: Various locations throughout Jeju Island
- Duration: March 24, 2019 - November 16, 2019 (Total of 11 sessions)
- Description: A program that connects Jeju's natural, historical, and cultural content with art, including tours of artists' studios.

Art Olle is a tour program centered around artists' studios, allowing participants to experience the nature and culture of Jeju while sharing its value. An artist’s studio is not only a creative sanctuary where artworks are conceived but also a space for connecting with the surrounding nature and community. It serves as a living cultural space where life and art, matter and action, space and time intersect comprehensively. This program, one of the many projects of the Jeju Biennale, is a warm platform for exploration, lectures, new encounters, and discussions that bring together Jeju artists, residents, and tourists on the cultural and artistic island of Jeju. Held at least once a month at various locations across the island, this project offers a unique opportunity to rediscover artists' studios from a fresh perspective.

SMART TOUR

- Content: The 'Jeju Art Olle' mobile application has been developed and is being operated to feature the landmarks, places, and stories scattered across Jeju. This application provides users with an immersive experience by blending art with the unique cultural and natural heritage of Jeju Island.

Using the beacon network, the service unravels stories about landmarks and places all over Jeju, as well as the Jeju Biennale. It unravels the stories of Jeju and the Biennale works at each of the five sites of the Jeju Biennale: Jeju Museum of Art, Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art, Altteureu Airfield, Seogwipo Original Downtown (Seogwipo Performance Art Theater, Lee Jung-seop Refuge), and Jeju Original Downtown (Art Space IAa).

This program is designed to transform Jeju into a hub for new knowledge production and communication by creating a public forum that encapsulates the cutting-edge issues of our time through the themes of tourism, locality, and social art. The "Tourism" session delves deeply into the Biennale's theme, presenting various perspectives on the history, current realities, and alternative futures of tourism. The "Locality" session explores the logical basis for differentiating the Jeju Biennale, a global project, as a biennale rooted in regional identity. The "Social Art" session examines the shift in discourse from public art to social art and articulates the value of the Jeju Biennale within this context.
