EXPENDITURE - as it is always and already excessive |

92(teams) from 22 countries |
▷ Theme : Expenditure - as it is always and already excessive
The concept of "EXPENDITURE", which was borrowed from Georges Bataille, can be applied in a variety of areas, like politics, economics, culture, aesthetics, etc. EXPENDITURE stands in contrast with purpose-driven, power-oriented, phallic economic terms, such as "production", "moderation", "accumulation", "acquisition", "system", "control", in that it means the "consumption", "discharge", "exhaustion", "extravagance", "reckless spending" of surplus products. In essence, society is maintained through the meaningless processes of releasing and consuming symbols, order, power, etc., which have been excessively produced and accumulated. The examples of the processes are art, extravagance, laughter, crime, death, etc. In this regard, "EXPENDITURE stands at the antipode of purpose-centered and production-oriented values and complement these values at the same time. Thus, it can be interpreted as an important cultural activity and driver

▷ Theme : Voyage Without Boundaries
In "Voyage Without Boundaries," we encounter not only the field of time and space but also causational topological structure involving spatio-temporal fields. This took synchronism from the field of time and the concept of an interval from the field ofspace, reversing and distorting existing causationism. The 3-dimensional space reproduced by the Euclidean geometry becomes a 4-dimensional space-time continuum. Now a certain coordinate is assigned to a certain event. "Voyage Without Boundaries" assignedin the de-modern space of the non-Euclidean geometry lies on the map of a new desire and has routes with coordinates leading to immeasurable areas. We will set directions through empirical observations. However, the voyage will be an actual and relative navigation, not a subjective one.

20 Artists from 10 Countries |
▷ Theme : Avant-Garden
"Avant-garde"means all attitudes and artistic movements that deny existing artistic concepts and forms in favor of innovative art. Thus, "Avant" means "in front" and it refers not only to the innovativeness of artistic forms but also to the attitude toward life. Add to this a spatial concept of "Garden," which implies a stronger sense of privacy than a "park."
"Avant" also refers to a difference in perception between artists as creators and visitors as consumers, as well as artists' aesthetic and creative attitudes. A stroll into a "garden" leads us to a "space where we feel a sense of community" in nature. It also helps us to leave the cycle of everyday life and enjoy a "stroll into time." This stroll into time is an "unproductive activity" from the perspective ofmodern society, where all systems are set according to the mechanism of production.
