Korea | 10th Geumgang Nature Art Biennale 2022 open call

The 2022 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale in Korea aims to create a new discourse of nature art for the re-wilding of nature and art, and calls for artworks under the theme of "Again, Multiplicities of Rewilding." The 10th Geumgang Nature Art Biennale is becoming a venue of festivals and exchanges of nature artists around the world which introduces new encounters with nature along with art.

We look forward to seeing fresh and competent works on nature art through various formative languages of artists. The artwork plan participated in the open call for the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale will be presented in the 2022 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale Project Exhibition for the selection of invited artists.
