Busan Biennale 2006
is dedicated to moving beyond the functions and
roles of the large-scale international
contemporary art exhibition. By opening, widening,
and breaking artistic ¡°frames,¡± Busan Biennale 2006
is giving
innovative artists the unique opportunity to escape
the constraints of the traditional gallery and fixed
art institution,
letting them express their creative powers as never
before.
That¡¯s why the festival¡¯s theme is 'Everywhere.'
As the theme implies, artistic expression can be
enjoyed everywhere, by everyone, at any time, regardless
of one¡¯s background, job, or situation. In this
respect, the festival is encouraging an omnipresent
artistic experience, which is not constrained by
socially-determined, artificial boundaries of any
kind.
To ensure access to artistic experience, the Busan
Biennale Organizing Committee has been actively
canvassing all participants? artists, curators,
as well as the viewing public-for valuable feedback,
festival co-direction,
and ongoing support.
