The Busan Biennale has been going through the procedure of electing a new Executive Director of the Organizing Committee since April 10th after being under the system of the former acting Executive Director of the Organizing Committee since June 2014. After undergoing the process of condensing the candidates of the selection committee and nominating the Organizing Committee Chairman, the current professor of sculpture at Dong-A University, LIM Dong Lak, has been appointed as the Executive Director of the 9th Busan Biennale Organizing Committee following the final approval of the second extraordinary general meeting on May 21st. 
Executive Director LIM, Dong Lak is a representative sculptor of Korea actively participating in Europe, the United States, and Asia. He served as Chairperson of the Organizing Committees for the Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival, the Busan International Sea Art Festival, and the Busan International Outdoor Sculpture Symposium, former iterations of the Busan Biennale, and has experience in various cultural art circles such as being a Ministry of Culture & Athletics advisory commissioner and a Gwangju Biennale Organizing Committee Organizer.

Let's hear about the future actions of the Busan Biennale as told directly by Executive Director LIM, Dong Lak and the thoughts he has as the Executive Director of the Busan Biennale.

Q. Please tell us how it felt to become the 9th Executive Director of the Organizing Committee. 
 A. Returning as the Executive Director after being in charge as Chairperson of the Organizing Committees for the Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival in 1998 truly brings back old memories. Some people on the outside make a grandiose expression by saying that it is a return after twenty years. But rather than hearing such impressive expressions that sound wonderful on the outside, I think I've been given an opportunity to serve for the Busan Biennale Organizing Committee and have thus been given a mission to make another leap forward for the Busan Biennale.


Q. What kind of thoughts did you have when watching the Busan Biennale from the outside?
 A. Until now, many domestic and foreign artists have participated in the Busan Biennale and the Sea Art Festival. I think this is an outcome which reflects the efforts made by the executive directors, the concerned parties, and the executive offices of the past. But I think there are tasks that still remain which I will have to work out. One such task would be sorting out the timing of the Busan Biennale to secure its position even more in the world and further its role of paving the way for Korean artists to participate in the world stage in the future. I'm planning to improve the system and this procedure from the inside while continuing to make this into reality by cooperating with many organization on the outside.  


Q. You've been performing notable activities on the world stage as a sculptor. Please tell us about some of them.
 A. I want to introduce them one by one but to tell you briefly, I had a private viewing at La Defense, Paris in 2006 and a work called Croissance has been permanently installed. Many people remember this because I am the first Korean artist to have made such an accomplishment. There was a time when I was invited to Venice, Italy in 2012 and my work was selected as the special prize of the 69th Venice Film Festival along with an outdoor exhibition to be awarded to Robert Redford who is a Hollywood actor and director from the United States. The statue of a mermaid which you can see in Dongbaek Island of Haeundae is also one of my cherished works.

Q. Please explain how you're planning to lead the Sea Art Festival this year and the Busan Biennale next year.
 A. There are less than 100 days remaining until the Sea Art Festival this year. We're preparing for a challenge at a new place called Dadaepo Beach. We're making preparations to fully reveal the strength of an art festival that represents the natural environment. We hope everyone will be interested.
In the case of the Busan Biennale, I'm planning to make it so that the basics of 'L'ecole de Busan' I had emphasized while creating the Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival can be revived without just remaining as a simple event. We'll show off the avant-garde innovative artworks that can speak for the times which can be seen from no other place but the Busan Biennale. 


Q. What are your future resolutions? 
 A. First of all, I want to truly express my appreciation to the many people who have been cheering for us so that the Busan Biennale was able to grow into the world-class fine art festival that it is today. I promise to work hard so that the Busan Biennale and the Sea Art Festival can become precious assets of Busan and secure a position featuring cultural contents that Busan citizens can be proud of. There is a four-character Chinese idiom pronounced Mabuwichim which means that you can accomplish anything if you make an effort by steadily devoting your heart and soul no matter what the work might be. I'll create a new chapter of the Busan Biennale for the world by going back to the basics. I think what we need the most to make this possible is your encouragement and support. Please keep an eye on the Busan Biennale and the Sea Art Festival.


Q. Please say a word to the people reading the Busan Biennale newsletter.
 A. The weather is getting scorching hot. Please take care of your health and we'll see you at Dadaepo Beach where the Sea Art Festival will be held in September of this year. We'll be making preparations for the Sea Art Festival 2015 with hopes to avoid the scorching hot weather so we can welcome every one of you with our delighted and excited hearts.
