A Busan-Shanghai Special Exhibition will be held from September 1 to September 17, at F1963 (KISWIRE Suyeong Factory), the same location where Busan Biennale 2016 was successfully held, during the Busan International Architectural Culture Festival (BIACF) 2017.
The BIACF has been held every other year since 2001 and the event consists of exhibitions, citizen participation programs and symposiums. This year’s festival will introduce the City of Shanghai, its history and architecture relative to Busan, under the theme of ‘Living in Shanghai, Living in Busan’.
Special exhibitions including “Walking Barcelona with Gaudi” in 2013 and “Chicago and Busan, Present and Past” in 2015 have been held during previous BIACF events.
Shanghai has been developed into a world class, modern city through the establishment of former French and British concessions and urban construction by global powers. Shanghai and Busan were contemporarily formed as international cities and have much in common.
A variety of programs including exhibitions, world symposiums and other events, with a team led by Dr. Xiangning Li of Tongji University in Shanghai, are scheduled to be held.
Busan City is invited to Shanghai Urban Space Art Season 2017 to be held in September in Shanghai, China, along with London, United Kingdom; Hamburg, Germany and Barcelona, Spain. It is expected to help promote Busan City during the event in Shanghai.
