"Since its first edition in 1987, the Sea Art Festival has become one of Busan's most important art events. Against a coastline backdrop, the festival uses its unique format to reinterpret its natural surroundings, explore diverse marine ecological issues and through its collaboration with local fishing communities, bring the public closer to art. Titled 'Undercurrents: Waves Walking on the Water', this year's edition returns to Dadaepo Beach and surrounding areas, thematizing the invisible forces operating beneath the surface, both ecologically and culturally."
"The festival explores how dialogic rhythms-formed through flows, winds, sounds, humans and non-human agents-intersect with everyday life. Among the participants are Berlin-based artists like Antje Majewski and Plastique Fantastique, as well as international and local artists like Marco Barotti and Sangdon Kim. Gagosian Following the installation of 'Mary' (2025) on the building's roof, Carol Bove returns to the Beverly Hills gallery for her first full exhibition, with 'Nights of Cabiria.'"
"Using modernist formalism as a point of departure, Bove's metal sculptures explore previously overlooked openings in the narrative of art history. Bove reflects on the industrial heritage of Los Angeles as an epicenter of Cold War-era weapons manufacturing and precision aerospace engineering, as well as the subcultures that emerged in response to this: surfing, surfboards and perfect surface finishes. The gallery building itself takes up an important role in the exhibition, too."
