Busan Biennale

The Busan Biennale is a biannual international contemporary art show that integrated three different art events held in the city in 1998: the Busan Youth Biennale, the first biennale of Korea that was voluntarily organized by local artists in 1981; the Sea Art Festival, an environmental art festival launched in 1987 with the sea serving as a backdrop; and the Busan International Outdoor Sculpture Symposium that was first held in 1991. The biennale was previously called the Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival (PICAF) before it launched.

The biennale has its own unique attribute in that it was formed not out of any political logic or need but rather the pure force of local Busan artists’ will and their voluntary participation. Even to this day their interest in Busan's culture and its experimental nature has been the key foundation for shaping the biennale’s identity.

This biennale is the only one like it in the world that was established through an integration of three types of art events such as a Contemporary Art Exhibition, Sculpture Symposium, and Sea Art Festival. The Sculpture Symposium in particular was deemed to be a successful public art event, the results of which were installed throughout the city and dedicated to revitalizing cultural communication with citizens. The networks formed through the event have assumed a crucial role in introducing and expanding domestic art overseas and leading the development of local culture for globalized cultural communication. Founded 38 years ago, the biennale aims to popularize contemporary art and achieve art in everyday life by providing a platform for interchanging experimental contemporary art.

Green House

Kyung Woo Han's work world builds the ambiguous 3rd boundary area between surrealistic objet and conceptual art through gap among reproduction and fiction, reality and phantom.
In the work <Green house> submitted this time, the displaced daily objects are situated in the environment that reminds us of underwater space, which is the installation work that the overturn of the perception by the illusion of space is revealed plurally and sensuously. The up and down space metaphorically expresses the self-reflexivity of images by the mirror effect as if to be reflected on the water, and situates the audience in the illusion of space. The objects floating in the air metaphorically express the time hung in the mechanism of movement and suspension, while the uneasy and odd feeling becomes a kind of somatization like an amniotic fluid space, which gives us an uncanny feeling. It attempts to reveal a possibility of new perception through the temporal experience and process that the audience observes and somatizes the contemplative act and object called the gaze in the space.
