The selection of the curator of the Korean pavilion at the 59th Venice Art Biennale next year has been embroiled in a cronyism controversy, prompting the Arts Council Korea (ARKO) to make an unprecedented move to nullify its earlier decision and reevaluate all 12 applicants.
Last month, the council selected four candidates in the first round of the screening process, who then went through a second round of interviews. The four applicants were competing for the position to curate the Korean pavilion at the Biennale s International Art Exhibition next April.
