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.
The 13th Berlin Biennale investigates a specific line of contemporary artistic languages drawn from diverse practices and art histories from nonadjacent geographies, focusing on the capacity of art in politically challenging times.
Curatorial Team: The 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art is curated by Zasha Colah. Valentina Viviani is Assistant Curator.
About 🏛️ Hamburger Bahnhof
Hamburger Bahnhof was one of Berlin’s major 19th-century terminus stations – a site of arrival, departure, and transition. To this day, this history continues to shape the museum for contemporary art at the heart of Berlin. The building bears witness to pivotal moments in German history: from industrialization to wartime destruction, from division and the Wall to the reunified capital.
