With exhibitions, Encounters, and events, the 13th Berlin Biennale will span diverse venues in the city – including the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart.
The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art takes place every two years at varying locations in Berlin. Since its first edition in 1998, the Berlin Biennale has been committed to creating a space of freedom with experimental exhibition and event programs for renowned curators, presenting bold artistic and political positions beyond the interests of the art market. The Berlin Biennale explores international artistic developments of the present day that make the unseen and unfamiliar tangible. Each edition brings together artists, theorists, and interested audiences from different areas of society, opening up a dialogue with the inhabitants of the city.
