‘I feel a renewed passion to shape a new era’: Youn Bummo takes the reins as president of the Gwangju Biennale

Youn Bummo has been appointed president of the Gwangju Biennale Foundation, returning to the organization he helped launch in 1995. He previously served as director of South Korea's Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) from 2019 until his resignation in 2023, which was widely attributed to political pressure. The 16th edition of the Biennale in 2025 will be curated by Singaporean film artist Ho Tzu Nyen.

National Museum of Korea names new director as part of post-election reshuffle

You Hong-jun, a Myongji University art historian and author, has been appointed director of the National Museum of Korea and its 13 provincial affiliates. This appointment is part of a broader reshuffle following South Korea's snap presidential election in June, which brought Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party to power. Other key appointments include Youn Bummo as president of the Gwangju Biennale Foundation, and Amal Khalaf and Evelyn Simons as co-curators of the 2026 Busan Biennale, marking the first female duo to curate that event.
