The 2020 edition of Busan Biennale, which garnered positive reviews for interweaving visual art with literary elements, heads to Chicago for a year-long project with artists, musicians and writers.
Organized by Danish artistic director Jacob Fabricius, the 10th edition of Busan Biennale was titled Words at an Exhibition ― an exhibition in ten chapters and five poems. Fabricus invited 11 authors, 67 visual artists and 11 musicians from 34 countries to unravel the port city s charms in the context of metropolitanism.
Busan Biennale partnered with the University of Chicago s Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry and the Center for East Asian Studies Committee on Korean Studies to present The Chicago Chapter of the biennale.
