Gwangju Biennale opens director search to global competition

The Gwangju Biennale is ditching its old recommendation-based system and opening up the search for its artistic director to international applications for the first time. This shift aims to bring fresher curatorial ideas and broader perspectives to one of Asia's major art events. The 17th edition kicks off in 2028, and they're welcoming both solo curators and collaborative teams to apply.
