About

The Gwangju Biennale is a contemporary art biennale founded in September 1995 in Gwangju, South Jeolla province, South Korea. The Biennale is curated by both Korean and International curators and art critics and is hosted by the Gwangju Biennale Foundation and the city of Gwangju. The Gwangju Biennale Foundation also hosts the Gwangju Design Biennale, founded in 2004. In 2026, China boycotted the event due to the use of "Taiwan Pavilion" to represent Taiwan’s National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
