With a spirit of celebration and support, Hyundai Motor has partnered with the Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale to shine light on Korean artists’ ambitious endeavors. This international art exhibition occurs every two years at venues in Venice, the Arsenale and the Giardini (Biennale’s Gardens) which house national pavilions and the Central Pavilion. The Korean Pavilion was established in 1996 with its one-storied building that holds three exhibition halls: the Transparent Hall, Historical Hall, and Cylinder Hall. Since its opening, the Korean Pavilion continues to receive honorable mentions presenting outstanding works by artists from Korea and broadening perspectives on Korean art. The longstanding support of Hyundai Motor for the Korean Pavilion at the Venice Biennale represents our ambition to connect more deeply with audiences from around the world and build on making art accessible for all.

The Hyundai Project: Korean Art Scholarship Initiative is designed to encourage deepening and broadening Korean art history and promote Korean art on a global scale. There has been a relative lack of systematic research of Korean art history compared to the heightened interest in Korean art shown by the public today. Given the circumstances, The Hyundai Project: Korean Art Scholarship Initiative creates a new long-term platform and a model for research in Korean art with global scholars in partnership with LACMA. The program will deliver three ground-breaking exhibitions over the next 10 years that will examine key aspects of Korean art. Scholarship in each of these areas will be pursued through exhibitions, international symposia, online presentations, and publications.
