In Japan, 19 media outlets, including Asahi Shimbun and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), attended the conference and 12, including Xinhua News Agency and China News Service, in China. The first overseas conferences of the Busan Biennale were able to generate heated interests among the media. Shall we revisit the sites of the overseas press conferences?! :*)

Olivier Kaeppelin, artistic director, Dal-Sul Kwon, acting executive director, Sou-Hyeun Kim, curator of the main exhibition, Shinichi Hanada, co-curator of the Asian Curatorial exhibition, Masayuki Koorida, participating artist, and 19 Japanese media outlets were present at the site.

By hosting the overseas press conferences as the first step, more intensive promotion measures will launch to attract foreign visitors, which include the development of tourism products for foreign visitors and multilingual docent programs, along with the collaboration with the 5th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale. Keep your eyes on the Busan Biennale 2014 as it strides into the world. :*) The Busan Biennale 2014 will be held from September 20 through November 22 at the Busan Museum of Art, the Busan Cultural Center and the KISWIRE Sooyoung Factory!!
