  The 9th Gwangju Biennale ‘ROUNDTABLE’ September 7 ? November 11, 2012 http://www.gb.or.kr The Gwangju Biennale Foundation is pleased to announce ‘ROUNDTABLE’ as the theme of the 9th Gwangju Biennale (September 7 ? November 11, 2012).

This theme was derived initially from our working method of being geographically distant but brought together through different media of
