The exhibitions have been made available both online and offline afterwards. What do you think of the online exhibitions at the Changwon Sculpture Biennale 2020?
A. I see the online exhibition as a plus and also because it was very well done. In today's society with the development of technology we have to think about showing differently and sharing differently by using the assets of technology and media.
I am not physically in Changwon but my pleasure to experience the exhibition was made possible by the online platform.
Q. What are your plans after the Changwon Sculpture Biennale 2020?
A. My impression from afar is that it is very well organized and above all has presented works of great pastiche quality despite the health crisis. The Changwon Biennale made me want to discover Korea. But also, to share live with people who evolve in this contemporary art world and also to discover traditional art. In short, it gave me a great desire to share more and to better elaborate the themes that are dear to my heart in my plastic creation, namely: peace and living together.
