Hyundai Motor Co. announced on Wednesday that it will continue its sponsorship of the Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, the world’s largest international art exhibition, through 2034.
“We have signed an agreement this year with the Arts Council Korea to continue official sponsorship until 2034,” the company said. “We aim to contribute to establishing a stable foundation for introducing the trends and experimental works of Korean contemporary art to the global community.”
The Venice Biennale is a biennial international art event, where representative artists and exhibitions from various countries participate.
The 61st edition of the event will take place from May 9 to 11, local time, at the Giardini della Biennale in Venice, Italy.
The Korean Pavilion exhibition, titled “Liberation Space: Fortress/Nest,” is curated by artistic director Choi Bin-na and features artists Choi Go-eun and Ro Hye-ree. It draws on the concept of the “liberation space,” referring to the 1945–1948 period after Korea’s liberation when a new social order was taking shape.
Rather than a retrospective, the exhibition situates the pavilion within contemporary geopolitical and social contexts, framing it as a space for dialogue. The two artists, known for contrasting practices, are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the pavilion.
