The Doosan Yonkang Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Doosan (000150.KS), is sponsoring the Korean Pavilion at Italy’s Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition for the first time.<\/p>\n
The foundation said Thursday it is participating as a sponsor of the Korean Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition, held at the Giardini park in Venice, Italy, from the 9th of this month through November 22.<\/p>\n
Launched in 1895, the Venice Biennale is the world’s largest art festival and is held biennially. This year’s event features 99 national pavilions curated by individual countries, along with a main exhibition showcasing 111 artists selected by artistic director Koyo Kouoh.<\/p>\n
Under the theme “Liberation Space,” the Korean Pavilion sheds light on political events and historical transitions in Korean society from 1945 to the present.<\/p>\n
Also drawing attention is the deep connection between the exhibition’s key figures and the foundation’s artist support programs. Participating artist Noh Hye-ri is an alumna of the foundation’s emerging artist support program, Doosan Art LAB, while artistic director Choi Binna serves as a supervisor of the Doosan Curator Workshop.<\/p>\n
Choi served as a curator of the 2016 Gwangju Biennale and as co-artistic director of the 2022 Singapore Biennale and the 2025 Hawaii Triennial. Noh held her solo exhibition “August is the Cruelest” at Doosan Gallery in Jongno-gu, Seoul, last year. For the Venice exhibition, she will present “Bearing,” which expands her exploration of fragile material properties and imperfect structures.<\/p>\n
Other participating fellows include artist Choi Goen, author Han Kang, farmer and activist Kim Hoo-ju, writer and singer Lee Lang, photographer Hwang Ye-ji, and artist Christian Nyampeta.<\/p>\n
“It is deeply meaningful to meet at the Venice Biennale with the artists we have contemplated and grown alongside,” a Doosan Yonkang Foundation official said. “We will continue to support artists who build their own original artistic worlds and pioneer new frontiers in art.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Installation view of “Liberated Space: Fortress and Nest,” the Korean Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale International Art…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[4776,410,10878,409,408,10876,4775,4773,4777,10877,4772],"class_list":{"0":"post-14731","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-doosan","8":"tag-choi-binna","9":"tag-doosan","10":"tag-doosan-art-lab","11":"tag-doosan-enerbility","12":"tag-doosan-group","13":"tag-doosan-yonkang-foundation","14":"tag-korean-contemporary-art","15":"tag-korean-pavilion","16":"tag-liberation-space","17":"tag-noh-hye-ri","18":"tag-venice-biennale"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
