Biennale für Freiburg dedicates itself to artistically approaching urgent socio-political matters through means of varying thematic and conceptual frameworks. The aim is to establish a continuous connection to Freiburg and to provide a lasting contribution to the cultural and artistic life of the city. The Biennale’s multi-layered program presents and mediates contemporary art beyond institutional spaces, puts local conditions in tension with global contexts and issues, and conveys new perspectives on the city.
The Biennale for Freiburg was founded in 2019 by the association “Perspektiven für Kunst in Freiburg e.V.” in response to the closure of the Freiburg branch of the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe and the resulting question about the role of contemporary art (education) in Freiburg. The Biennale expands the cultural and artistic life in Freiburg and sets impulses for an ongoing exchange between national and international artists, artistic contexts, and the urban society.
