'The International Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale is distinguished from other biennials held internationally and domestically by its exclusive focus on women artists. The International Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale reflects the interest in women artists in each country and their increased numbers in the art world overall. Visitors of the biennale have the opportunity to learn about the region’s historical significance that defines Incheon as an important hub city in Northeastern Asia.' (Excerpt from Biennial Foundation)

'In the Wake of 2013,' the Tuning Exhibition of the biennial assembles works of artists that focus on such issues as politics and power, violence and conflict, as well as society. '"In the Wake of 2013" uses the future perfect tense to form the concept of the exhibition. The exhibition is envisioned from a point in time after 2013 (perhaps 2015). The choice of a future tense does not aim to forecast or predict a future event. It is rather a validation of an action we take today, illuminating the prerequisites for what we want to do—and should do—based on our will and plans for the future.' (from 'In the Memory of 2013' by Heng-gil Han, p. 26)

The accompanying catalogue 'includes not only participating artists' biographies, images of their past works, and theses presented by scholars in the conference, but also seminal texts by Walter Benjamin, Elena Filipovic, Boris Groys, Jurgen Habermas, and Jean-Francois Lyotard. These texts are translated by Korean emerging artists and published in English and in Korean. Some of the texts are accompanied by introductions by the translators. In addition, the catalogue includes essays on art and politics by Andries Botha, Megha Ralapati, Sara Reisman, Allan Sekula and Noel Burch, and Yu Hyunju.' (from p. 265)
