We are the Biennale in Berlin.

Biennale means:
Something happens every other year.

We make an exhibition.
About today’s art.
Every other year.

That means:
You can visit us.
And take a look at
what artists are creating.

Some Examples:

• Paintings
• Sculptures
• Films

There are many such exhibitions.
In many countries.
The Biennale in Berlin
is one of the most important.

Many people who work with arts
meet each other.

The Biennale is always in Berlin.
Every other year.
It will be this year, too.

Every time, the Biennale is a bit different.
There is always someone who decides:
What pieces of art will be displayed.
You call that person a “curator”.

Every curator likes different things.
That is why every Biennale looks differently.

We allow our curators to try out new things.

• They can show art of unknown artists.
• They can show art that is hard to sell.

That is very exciting for our visitors.

Many young artists became successful
after their art·works have been at the Biennale.

The Biennale this year

This is the 11th (eleventh) Biennale.
There have been 10 other exhibitions in the past.

This time the Biennale will have 4 parts.
If you look at all 4
it is like watching a story told.

The first 3 parts are:

• Exp. 1
• Exp. 2
• Exp. 3

The 4th part is the final part.
There we will talk about all the other parts.
We will show:

• What the art·works have in common.
• How the artists differ around the world.

The exhibition speaks about:

• People being there for each other.
• Vulnerability (Why people get hurt.)
• Resistance (How people protect themselves against bad things.)

Life can be difficult. Especially now.

This exhibition shows:
Life is difficult, but also wonderful.
