Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival 2000

	The 2nd edition of the International Contemporary Art Festival in Busan (formerly spelled Pusan - see Info) has the main theme:   PA - Togetherness in life According to the organizers, the Korean word "Pa" (see character) represents an open image of the sea, which reflects the regional characteristics of Busan. "Pa" also means "wave, oscillation and/or energy", which can be understood as a process of change. "Togetherness in Life" is described as an oriental cognition in the sense of "universal human desire, unconditional mercy and love which is the basis of togetherness". The 3 components of the festival are: Contemporary Art Exhibition: Leaving the Island 2 October - 27 November 2000 Busan Metropolitan Art Museum 1413 Woo-dong, Haeundaeu-gu, Busan Curators: Young Chul Lee, Rosa Martínez, Hou Hanru, Tom van Bleat (for the video portion) Sea Art Festival 2 - 16 October 2000 Haeundae Beach Exhibition of drafts and models submitted in the competition: 10 - 15 July 2000 Daeangongkan - Seom Busan Sculpture Project International Symposium of Open Air Sculpture 2 October - 27 November 2000 Olympic Sculpture Park Art Fair 2 - 10 October 2000 Galleries from Korea, Japan, China Exhibition Hall at Busan Cultural Centre Art Theory and Criticism Seminar 3 - 9 October 2000 International Conference Room at Busan Cultural Centre Note: The summary on our pages is compiled from information on the website of the Busan Biennale.
