Event List
The civilization that blossomed on Jeju, a volcanic island in the Eurasian Peninsula, did not merely flow from the sea but also arrived from the northern continental culture. Various elements scattered and gathered in Jeju, intermingled and transformed, creating the ecology, geography, and ways of life that define Jeju today. Entering its 10th year with the 5th Jeju Biennale this year, the exhibition focuses on Jeju's historical process of dispersal upon meeting northern civilizations (heo-kkeuk-da), gathering (modak-chi-da), and transformation (iyahong). For this purpose, the biennale adopts 'Iyahong (이야홍)' from the refrain of the Iyahong Taryeong—a folk song that flowed from the mainland and became an indigenous ballad unique to Jeju—as both its theme and core concept. Through Jeju, where the principles of climate and diet are embedded, the Jeju Biennale aims to present the modes of survival and their aesthetic beauty co-created by objects and nature, human life and the sacred.
