When the Nam June Paik Center near Seoul was looking for a European curator with international experience,it eventually came across Tobias Berger,the German curator and executive director of Hong Kong's Art Spaces and a veteran of the Guangzhou Triennale. He's now the first foreign curator at a South Korean museum and many are pinning their hopes on him.
