Since its first edition in 1998, the Berlin Biennale has developed into the most important forum for contemporary art in one of the world’s most attractive art metropolises. It is organized by the KW Institute for Contemporary Art.
The 6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (11 June – 8 August 2010) presents works by 50 artists and is curated by Kathrin Rhomberg. In the process, she explores the central questions regarding the contemporariness and art’s relationship to it.
The exhibited works thus reflect the diversity of the artistic realization, appropriation and production of the reality that informs the present.
