The city of Busan was translated from different perspectives as a real or a fictional city in the writings and visual arts and musical pieces created upon inspiration by the selected short stories are added to complete the theme of Busan Biennale 2020. Jacob FABRICIUS, a Danish Artistic Director, added a virtual layer to Busan and chose three locations for the exhibition (Museum of Contemporary Art Busan, the Old Town and Yeongdo Harbor) that are separated yet organically connected each other within a mixture of cultures. He suggests audiences to walk through each location and discover the history and memories of the city so as to awaken their sense of art while meeting their own Busan.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2963\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view.jpg 1865w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%A9%EC%84%A0-%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD-__-SUH-Yongsun-installation-view-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the Covid-19 forces many domestic and international biennales to be canceled or postponed, the Busan Biennale Organizing Committee (hereinafter \u201cthe Committee\u201d) believed that the current circumstances where people were suffering from the new normal of everyday life required more than ever deep thoughts and various experiments on what kind of roles the art should play. Therefore, the Committee made preparations considering various options from the planning stages when the pandemic was somewhat under control in Korea and when the participating artists became unable to come to Korea, it rapidly moved to support them via photos, video, images and video calls for transporting and installing their art works. With the government announcing in August that the strict social distancing rules would remain nationwide, the Committee decided to go online for the opening ceremony and to hold the exhibition online first.<\/p>\n<p>The online opening ceremony held on September 5th at 4pm in the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan was streamed live through its YouTube channel recording 5,292views and ended with a big success. In the Part 1 of the ceremony, one of the participating artists Mercedes AZPILICUETA opened it with her performance \u201cGreen is for sorrow\u201d and talks with the Executive Director and the Artistic Director was held featuring exhibition introduction and video interviews with the participating international artists. The Part 2 of the ceremony released the video of online exhibition tour featuring Artistic Director Jacob FABRICIUS in person walking through art pieces at the three venues: Yeongdo Harbor, the Old Town and the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan. It is the first-ever trial in the 20-year history of the Busan Biennale to offer online experience of the guide with the artistic director, which presents a new art paradigm to deal with Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2962\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6.jpg 1884w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2020\/10\/19003922\/%ED%81%AC%EA%B8%B0%EB%B3%80%ED%99%98%ED%8E%98%ED%84%B0-%EB%B2%A0%ED%9E%88%ED%8B%80%EB%9F%AC_%EC%84%A4%EC%B9%98%EC%A0%84%EA%B2%BD6-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, from September 30th (Wed), the Busan Biennale 2020 faced a new phase of its journey.
