Birke Gorm is representing Austria at the 16th Gwangju Biennale in 2026. Under the title THE EVENING AND THE MORNING AND THE NIGHT, she has transformed the upper floor of Gwangju’s Eunam Museum of Art, both physically and conceptually, into an attic—a storage place, full of latent energies, largely left undisturbed.
