Evolution of Korean arts scene through the eyes of a curator: ”A biennial such as Seoul Mediacity Biennale, created and run by a museum, has a very stable position, but it is also driven in connection with its institution's identity. The biennial enables SeMA to work outside its physical space by activating the whole city in a new light and extending the museum's presence via different venues.”

A new vision for architecture biennials through the eyes of Carlo Ratti: ”In all of the Biennales and expositions I have curated, I have aimed to turn the occasion of the event into an opening for experimentation. We have opportunities to try new things and get feedback from a diverse audience that does not make itself available every day. It's not just about building something big or exciting enough to put the city on the map; it's about activating the people of the town itself.”

Matthew Kirsch, Curator and Director of Research at The Noguchi Museum takes us on the journey of Noguchi’s artistic and design development and his travels: ”Noguchi was receptive to the gospel that Brancusi taught - the respect for materials and tools, allowing the forms he made to be dictated by the nature of the material itself, dedicating himself to the task at hand, never considering any work to be practice for something yet to come - this is the cumulative influence Brancusi had on Noguchi. ”

Artist Isaac Chong Wai reflects upon the development of artistic practice: ”Performance edits realities. It challenges our preconceived notions and understanding of the body in time and space. I often approach my ideas through queering, disrupting, and altering the hierarchies of meanings, where the recognizable becomes uncanny, fragmented, and clashed.”
