Combine the closing programme with the main exhibition

Activities are planned at the Biennale Hall, Geosigi Hall and nearby outdoor spaces. The main exhibition continues until November 15, beyond the closing-programme dates. Choose individual start times and venues when combining performances with gallery visits.

Check your confirmation if you applied

The October 29 application deadline has passed for activities including Geumhyung Jeong’s Rehab Training, the o to da te walk and Christian Nyampeta’s workshop. Limited places were offered first come, first served and could close early. Participation confirmations are sent individually by email or text. Applicants should check their confirmation; consult the foundation for any subsequent participation guidance.

Find performances available with an exhibition ticket

Angela Goh’s Craft is scheduled for November 6–8 at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm on the bridge between galleries. Exhibition-ticket holders can watch without separate preregistration. Gallery activities may require a ticket: confirmed Rehab Training participants must purchase one separately, and late entry and re-entry are not allowed after it begins.

Connect the galleries with the city’s pavilions

Main-exhibition hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10am–6pm, with last admission at 5:30pm. Mondays are generally closed; September 7, October 5 and the Chuseok holidays were listed exceptions. Check conditions separately for the 28 pavilions across the city. Group coordinators can prepare confirmations, exhibition tickets and travel time together.
