Sea Art Festival 2013 ‘With Songdo : Remembrance·Marks·People’,
which will be held for 30 days at Songdo Beach, will open coming September 14. |
Found in 1987 as a pre-Olympic event of the 88 Seoul Olympics, the Sea Art Festival is the history of art in Busan. The exhibition has been held for twenty-seven years without a cessation, including 2000, the year when the exhibition got consolidated with the Busan Biennale. Known for its experimental approach, the Sea Art Festival is a unique exhibition that highlights the marine environment of Busan, with very few comparable exhibitions internationally. The exhibition was found ten years prior to an inception of the similar exhibition Sculpture by the sea, which is held at the beach in Sydney, Australia.
The Sea Art Festival is pronounced for unique experimental minds of Busan artists. It opened up the conception of an exhibition by expanding its exhibition space to the natural environment around Busan, especially the beach and surrounding areas, breaking away from the perspective that conceived only indoor spaces as exhibition space. Showcasing works of art relating to the sea also helped the exhibition to gain its reputation as the new kind of marine art. With the theme of “With Songdo: Remembrance·Marks·People,” the Sea Art Festival 2013 will be held at Songdo Beach for 30 days. The Artistic Director, who is also a sculptor, was appointed to achieve curatorial comprehensiveness, and the exhibition also comprises various Festival Events, adding another distinction to this year’s exhibition from the previous. The Sea Art Festival 2013 is the second edition as an independent exhibition since 2011 and has secured its place as a leading art exhibition. |
