Chinese artists announce Gwangju Biennale withdrawal over pavilion naming

Participating Chinese artists held a press conference to announce their intention to withdraw from the 16th Gwangju Biennale over the naming of a pavilion. The naming dispute became entangled with relations between countries and affected the exhibition's operation. An announced intention to withdraw and the final exhibition lineup should be verified separately. The issue is what standards an international art event should use to reconcile participants' names, artists' expression, and the organizer's operating principles.
