About Busan Biennale
An international contemporary art exhibition held every even-numbered year, the Busan Biennale has its origins in the Busan Youth Biennale, which was established in 1981 through independent efforts by young Busan-area artists. Emerging out of these independent origins, the Busan Biennale has shared experimental and richly dynamic exhibitions that set themselves apart from other biennial while expressing Busan’s identity as a city. Busan Biennale 2022 is scheduled to take place in August 2022.
