The university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture examines a key experiment by
The Open University to mobilize new media environments for distance and adult education.
Eight episodes written by Joaquim Moreno, conversations with Tim Benton, Nick Levinson,
Adrian Forty, Joseph Rykwert and Stephen Bayley, and contributions by Nick Beech, Laura
Carter, Ben Highmore, and Joseph Bedford, offer a close reading of the course A305, History of
Architecture and Design 1890-1939, which was taught through television and radio broadcasts,
aired on the BBC between 1975 and 1982.

As current models for producing and transmitting knowledge are being brought into question, The
university is now on air, broadcasting modern architecture traces a radical attempt at rethinking
the mandate of higher education through mass media.

Founded in 1995 in memory of the April Revolution in 1960 and the May 18 Gwangju
Democratization Movement in 1980, the Gwangju Biennale is one of the oldest and most
renowned modern art biennales in Asia.

Under the direction of such prominent curators as Yong-woo Lee, Massimiliano Gioni, Okwui
Enwezor, Charles Esche, Hou Hanru, Hong-hee Kim, Kwangsoo Oh, Wan-kyoung Dung, Young-
chul Lee, Kerry Brougher, Suk-won Chang, and Harald Szeemann, Gwangju Biennale has
established itself as a major player in the international contemporary art biennale scene.

The Gwangju Folly project was initiated as part of the 2011 Gwangju Design Biennale led by co-
artistic directors Seung H-Sang and Ai Weiwei. Following its second edition in 2013 with Nikolaus
Hirsch, 2016 Gwangju Folly III is conceived by Eui-Young Chunand introduces a series of new
follies in the urban space of Gwangju in South Korea.

Under the theme of Folly & Everyday Life - Taste and Beauty, Gwangju Folly III designed verbs to
experience taste and beauty.

This book presents the four follies, new commissioned works from architects and artists to
challenge the perception of public space: View Folly, GD (Gwangju Dutch) Folly, Cook Folly, Fun
Pun Folly and Mini Folly as a sub-folly.
