Open Call for the Artistic Director of the Busan Biennale 2026

Open Call for the Artistic Director of the Busan Biennale 2026

The Busan Biennale has showcased a variety of contemporary international art trends over the past four decades while also highlighting Busan's history and its evolving urban landscape. Since its inception in 1981 as the Pusan Youth Biennale, it has become a distinctive platform connecting local and global art. Over the years, artistic directors from around the world have contributed to the Busan Biennale, generating meaningful narratives and discussions.

 

Open Call for the Artistic Director of Sea Art Festival 2025

The Busan Biennale Organizing Committee is pleased to announce the open call for the artistic director of the Sea Art Festival 2025. 
The Sea Art Festival, which had its inaugural edition in 1987, is unique as it is presented in Busan along the beautiful scenery of the sea. Following its integration with the Busan Biennale, the festival has been held independently in odd years since 2011, while the Biennale is hosted every other year. The Sea Art Festival is an opportunity to reinterpret Busan and the sea as a source of inspiration and artistic space and make art more enjoyable for everyone. We seek the active participation of the curators who are ready to open a new chapter in the history of the Sea Art Festival.
