Under the title \u003Cem>passing the fugitive on\u003C/em>, the exhibition showed over 170 works by more than 60 artists at four venues in Berlin. A majority of these works were commissioned for the Berlin Biennale. The venues included the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, the Sophiensæle, the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, and the former Courthouse Lehrter Straße. \u003C/p>'\n  readmoretext: '\u003Cp>The title of the exhibition alludes to art’s ability to define its own laws in the face of legislative violence in unjust systems, the artist’s capacity for clarity of gesture and action in their own historical condition, and to pass these on. \u003C/p>\u003Cp>47 events from the \u003Cem>Encounters\u003C/em> series, and \u003Cem>fugitive acts\u003C/em>—unannounced interventions—opened up the exhibition space to unexpected and ephemeral encounters between artists and visitors. With \u003Cem>Walking the Cabbage in Berlin\u003C/em>, Han Bing opened the \u003Cem>Encounters\u003C/em> program on June 13, 2025, walking a cabbage through the streets of Berlin-Mitte, 25 years after walking it in Tiananmen Square. With \u003Cem>The Beggars’ Convention\u003C/em>, Major Nom brought a theater performance on the recent civil disobedience movement in Myanmar to Berlin with queer and female-identifying performers in drag. Mila Panić’s stand-up comedy club \u003Cem>Big Mouth\u003C/em> found continuities between the Bosnian war, Ukraine, and Gaza over six evenings with changing guests. \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Two People’s Tribunals—civil society court forums—dealt with human rights violations and crimes against humanity: the Bana Group for Peace and Development held a \u003Cem>People’s Tribunal on the Systematic Targeting of Women Activists in Sudan\u003C/em>. The \u003Cem>People’s Tribunal on Art for Resisting Oppression—Philippines cases\u003C/em>, led by ALPAS Pilipinas, the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) – Germany, and Gabriela Germany, sought justice for the systematic attacks on art and cultural rights. Both tribunals admitted sculpture, orality, and performance as forms of legal evidence. The People’s Tribunals were realized in collaboration with the mediation team as part of the \u003Cem>Encounters\u003C/em> series.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Margherita Moscardini’s work \u003Cem>The Stairway\u003C/em>, as well as the historic staircase in the former Courthouse, repeatedly served as sites for fugitive acts throughout the exhibition period.

This historic building—where Karl Liebknecht was put on trial in 1916—became the setting for works that explored the threshold between \u003Cem>Legality, Illegality, and the Artist’s Claim\u003C/em>. \u003Cem>foxing\u003C/em> described the possibility of transforming one’s own adverse circumstances. Under the sections titled \u003Cem>Artists’ Street\u003C/em> and \u003Cem>Moving Multitudes and the Conscience of Art\u003C/em> the exhibition focused on the histories of artistic positions rooted in unauthorized, fugitive acts on the street, or those within sit-ins, blockades, and civil disobedience movements, or those never seen in hiding and prisons out of view, to make comparative and intergenerational art histories palpable. Works shown at the Sophiensæle under the title \u003Cem>Blueprint of Berlin\u003C/em> used three cultural forms infused with restive political energy—the tap dance, the \u003Cem>anyeint\u003C/em>, and the \u003Cem>powada\u003C/em>—to engage with the layered history of the building and of Berlin up to the present elections. \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>This edition of the biennale developed portions of the program in curatorial co-conspiracy with four sister organizations: the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC), Filmrauschpalast Moabit, SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA, and the Sophiensæle. Many events of the \u003Cem>Encounters\u003C/em> series took place at Kulturfabrik Moabit.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>The mediation program of the 13th Berlin Biennale sought out new ways of expanding institutional structures and opening museum spaces to social debate. Ongoing formats such as Open Ateliers—family-friendly workshops designed to explore exhibition themes and materials through playful and intuitive engagement—and Hang-Out-Moments offered invitations to approach the exhibition on one’s own terms. The Curators Workshop, a core component of every Berlin Biennale, brought together 15 emerging curators under the title \u003Cem>Fugitive Acts: Art and Politics\u003C/em>, exploring the political dimensions of contemporary curating through a range of experimental formats. This edition of the Berlin Biennale also introduced a second discursive platform: a summer school realized in collaboration with the Technische Universität Berlin (Institute for Art History and Historical Urban Studies) and NABA – Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, with its campuses in Milan and Rome.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>First and foremost, the Berlin Biennale would like to thank Zasha Colah and Valentina Viviani, as well as the artists, collectives, and contributors to this Berlin Biennale, and the entire Berlin Biennale team for their commitment and trusting collaboration.

In dem Gerichtsgebäude an der Lehrter Straße etwa, der zweiten großen Spielstätte dieser Biennale. In dem fand 1916 auch ein Prozess gegen Karl Liebknecht statt. Viele Jahre stand der historische Backsteinbau leer. Am bröckelnden Wandputz im Flur scheinen daher die mit strammen Strichen skizzierten Zeichnungen des sudanesischen Künstlers ­Elshafe Mukhtar zunächst wie von Kids irgendwann mal dahingetaggt. Doch die eigenwillige Symbolik seiner Soldatenbilder mit Köpfen aus Stiefeln und Blechtöpfen lässt anmerken, dass hier jemand den Erfahrungen eines immer noch wütenden Kriegs in seinem Land einen eigenen Ausdruck gegeben hat.“ [Time and again, things come together in this intelligent exhibition, with history, artwork, and location intertwining. Take, for example, the courthouse on Lehrter Straße, the second major venue of this Biennale. It was here that Karl Liebknecht was tried in 1916. The historic brick building stood empty for many years. The crumbling plaster in the hallway makes the boldly sketched drawings by Sudanese artist Elshafe Mukhtar look like they were tagged there by kids at some point. But the idiosyncratic symbolism of his images of soldiers with heads made of boots and tin pots suggests that someone here has given their own expression to the experiences of a war that is still raging in their country.] (Sophie Jung; taz, die tagezeitung; June 14, 2025) \u003C/p>\u003Cp>“Central to this edition is the creation of an internationale, a collective, anti-colonial network of artists and practices that prevents hierarchies of solidarity from forming. Solidarity here is not performative, not a staged gesture for recognition, but an active, ongoing practice of connection, action, and care. Within this framework, the role of the jester is reinterpreted, operating covertly, reading between the lines, revealing truths, and guiding action from the margins.” (Chibuye Changwe, Art Gallivant, September 14, 2025)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>“All in all, the 13th edition of the Berlin Biennale amplifies a multiplicity of perspectives, bringing to the forefront voices that are often silenced or marginalized. Though it is difficult to confront Germany’s many facets of the politics of remembrance, the present Biennale dialectically seeks to address and create space for underrepresented voices and memory communities that, under mounting political pressure, are often neither recorded nor historicized. At times resisting signification, their narratives persist as traces in water, in the body, or in forms of laughter.” (Erëmirë Krasniqi, Camera Austria, September 2025)  \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>“Es ist, als würde diese Berlin Biennale sagen wollen, dass die Welt größer, die Lage komplexer und die Konflikte spezifischer sind, um es sich derart einfach zu machen. Und besonders auffällig ist, wie sie das sagt – der Wandel der Sprache. Vielen wird der neue Tonfall aufreizend lyrisch vorkommen, als poetisierendes Politisieren (oder umgekehrt). Aber das zeigt vor allem, dass da ein Ausweg aus zu eng gewordenen Sprachgattern gesucht wird. Der Kunstbetrieb ist in seinen intellektuell ambitionierteren Teilen offenbar dabei, nach dem Argot eines halb verdauten Poststrukturalismus jetzt auch allmählich mal den Jargon von postkolonialen Theorieaktivisten und Identitiätsbewirtschaftern hinter sich zu lassen und für ähnliche Anliegen gleichzeitig frischere und kompliziertere Begriffe zu finden.” [It is as if this Berlin Biennale wants to say that the world is bigger, the situation more complex and the conflicts more specific in order to make things so easy for itself. And what is particularly striking is how it says this—the change in language. To many, the new tone will seem provocatively lyrical, as poeticizing politicizing (or vice versa). But above all, it shows that a way out of linguistic grids that have become too narrow is being sought. After the argot of half-digested post-structuralism, the more intellectually ambitious parts of the art world are evidently in the process of gradually leaving behind the jargon of post-colonial theory activists and identity cultivators and finding fresher and more complicated terms for similar concerns.] (Peter Richter, Süddeutsche Zeitung, June 14, 2025)\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>“Bei der Aktion ‚Potknięcie’ etwa liefen Mitglieder von Akademia Ruchu vor dem damaligen Hauptquartier der Kommunistischen Partei auf und stolperten und stürzten plötzlich zum Schrecken der Passanten und der Wachen, taumelten auf Laternen und Leute zu und brachten Chaos und Unruhe vor die politische Machtzentrale, die Polizei konnte nichts dagegen tun, denn Stolpern stört zwar erheblich, aber ist leider nicht strafbar. Ähnlich trieb die 1986 geborene Han Bing auf dem Tiananmen-Platz in Peking die Wachen in den Wahnsinn, indem sie einen Kohl, das Hauptnahrungsmittel armer Menschen in China, wie einen Hund an der Leine über den Platz führte, was man als Anklage lesen konnte, aber was ebenfalls nicht strafbar war.” [In the ‘Potknięcie’ action, for example, members of Akademia Ruchu ran up in front of the then headquarters of the Communist Party and, to the horror of passers-by and the guards, suddenly stumbled and fell, tumbling towards lampposts and people and causing chaos and unrest in front of the political power center; the police could do nothing about it, because stumbling is a major nuisance, but unfortunately not punishable by law. Similarly, Han Bing, born in 1986, drove the guards in Tiananmen Square in Beijing crazy by leading a cabbage, the staple food of poor people in China, across the square like a dog on a leash, which could be read as an accusation, but which was also not punishable by law.] (Niklas Maak, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, June 15, 2025) \u003C/p>'\n  presspdf: >\n    https://13api-live.berlinbiennale.de/public/media/pages/presse/pressemitteilungen/3633460e5f-1758205544/250918_bb13_press-release-no-11_the-13th-berlin-biennale-ends-after-95-days-and-47-live-acts_en.pdf\n- \n  presstitle: '\u003Cp>September 10, 2025\u003Cbr>Looking back on the Mediation Program of the 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art\u003C/p>'\n  pretext: '\u003Cp>The \u003Ca href=\"https://13.berlinbiennale.de/en/program/mediation\">mediation program\u003C/a> of the 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art seeks ways to expand institutional structures and open museum spaces for public discussion.

The focus was on the role of politics in contemporary exhibition-making, which the participants explored in various formats. The program included tours through the exhibition with the curators and artists of the 13th Berlin Biennale, workshops with Doreen Mende (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden), lectures by Duygu Örs and Jas Wenzel (co-lead Education and Mediation at the 13th Berlin Biennale) and Somrak Sila (curator and author), as well as discussions with Christian Oxenius (International Biennial Association (IBA)) and Leutrim Fishekqiu with Vatra Abrashi (Autostrada Biennale, Kosovo), among others. In collaboration with Goethe-Institut, ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, and with the support of its Educational Partner Volkswagen Group, the Berlin Biennale invited a group of fifteen early-career curators to participate through an open call. A total of almost 1,000 applications were submitted for the Curators Workshop.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>For the first time, the 13th Berlin Biennale hosted a second professional discourse format: a summer school developed in collaboration with the Technische Universität Berlin (Institute of Art Studies and Historical Urbanism) and NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (with its two campuses in Milan and Rome).

The red-colored papers, swirling in a windstorm in the entrance hall, are reprints of his pamphlets on May 1, 1916, calling workers of the world to defect from the fratricide of the First World War, which he wrote, served only a handful of industrialists in each opposing nation. \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Since the birth anniversary of Karl Liebknecht on August 13, Scalfi meets with associations in Berlin to share the technological platform \u003Cem>Clearing House / Die Komödie!\u003C/em>, which records and localizes the interests, initiatives, and protests of its users.

Suddenly Gerber has to deal with a shocked family, ignorance in the office, and the back seats on the bus. With his film \u003Cem>Watermelon Man\u003C/em>, Melvin Van Peebles creates a sarcastic counter-image to the entertainment cinema of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In his Kafkaesque comedy, he exposes stereotypes, racism, and social constraints. As in classical tragedy, the events are commented on by a choir.

Starting from the Yugoslavian context, the event attempts to map uneven geographies of a present in which peace itself becomes a weapon. Engaging the concept of political subjectivation, it confronts the imperial-fascist continuum embedded in today’s machinery of war and destruction.

This talk traces how extractivism functions not merely as an economic model, but as a global political order that reshapes land, law, and life. From new lithium mining zones in Serbia—promoted as national salvation and as vital to EU green agendas—to the global systems of dispossession and environmental destruction, today’s war reveals itself as a logic of extraction. This logic is legitimized through the political discourses of sustainability, transition, and rescue, while simultaneously appropriating and repurposing the emancipatory legacies of antifascist and anticolonial struggles. In defending those legacies, many of today’s forms of resistance emerge—not only in response to what has been lost, but in commitment to what still refuses to be silenced or erased.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Former Courthouse Lehrter Straße\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>Ground floor, Milica Tomić’s exhibition space \u003Cbr>September 5, 2025\u003Cbr>5–6:30 pm\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cu>Program of the Sister Organization Sophiensæle:\u003Cbr>Boglárka Börcsök and Andreas Bolm: \u003Cem>Subjoyride\u003C/em>\u003C/u>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cem>Subjoyride\u003C/em> takes audiences on a visceral journey through the extraordinary life and work of German Dadaist Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927)—a scatological cosmos of performance, poetry, and sculpture. Through embodiment, voice, and sound, the Baroness takes on pulsating form—as a fearless outsider and punk pioneer who exposed the hypocrisies of her time with anarchic energy. In an era defined by imperialism, the horrors of the First World War, and the rise of consumer culture, she emerges as a tenderly dangerous harbinger of a present teetering on the brink of collapse.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Sophiensæle, Hochzeitssaal\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>September 10, 2025, 8–10 pm\u003Cbr>September 11/12/13, 2025, 9–11 pm\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cu>Program of the Sister Organization Sophiensæle: \u003Cbr>Oliver Zahn: \u003Cem>Crowd Control\u003C/em>\u003C/u>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>To prepare for protests, unrest, and riots, riot police forces around the world stage elaborate scripted simulations of exactly such scenarios.

By creating the right setting and tone, a comic book can almost write itself. Through these picto-textual performances, Sarnath Banerjee seeks to record the emotional history of our times. On the base of ordinary micro-encounters, he aims to explore the experiences that emerge when specificities meet and modernities collide. A section of his work addresses the poorly understood political and social rifts between the diaspora and the newly arrived. Banerjee believes that performativity is at the heart of comic-making.

This event, however, hit in the middle of life, close-up, in daylight. In 1995, in the Argentine city of Río Tercero, province of Córdoba, an explosion at a military arms factory left devastation in its wake. Debris and dust filled the air, people were injured and killed, and in the years that followed, trauma and illness lingered like invisible aftershocks. Though the city has never forgotten that tragic day, filmmaker Natalia Garayalde offers a profoundly intimate perspective on this collective memory by turning her lens toward her own family’s experience.

Through these picto-textual performances, Banerjee seeks to record the emotional history of our times. Using ordinary micro-encounters that arise from geographical and cultural dislocation, he aims to explore the spontaneous experiences that emerge when specificities meet and modernities collide. A section of his work addresses the poorly understood political and social rifts between the diaspora and the newly arrived.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Studio\u003Cbr>July 10, 2025, 6–6:30 pm\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Ca href=\"https://13.berlinbiennale.de/en/program/calendar/monologue-of-a-sock\">Gernot Wieland with Carla Åhlander and Konstantin von Sichart: Monologue of a sock or What would we have told the children?, 2025\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Monologue of a sock\u003C/em> \u003Cem>or What would we have told the children?\u003C/em> is a lecture performance born from the ashes of a doomed production for children and adults.

He wrote and performed this work in 1975 as a sharp critique and analysis of the power relations within the global art system. Todosijević exposes the structural positions these relations occupy—the roles, functions, and economic interests, defining art as a permanent site of conflict, embedded in the politics of its context. In her performance, Tomić builds on this foundation by using space and language to expose the evolving roles, struggles, and dynamics within today’s art system, adding new positions in response to contemporary realities. Her work reflects the shifts in the art world under the pressure of global neoliberal capitalism and the rise of oligarchic technocracy, revealing how class struggle continues to manifest within art.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The \u003Cem>Edinburgh Statement\u003C/em> was first reinterpreted by Tomić in 2012 as part of the Pančevo Biennial and the \u003Cem>October XXX\u003C/em> symposium. She further updated the work in 2016, providing a feminist reworking of the original text in a new version entitled \u003Cem>The Nottingham Statement\u003C/em>, and in 2022 she performed a new iteration, \u003Cem>The Belgrade Statement\u003C/em>, in the 59th October Salon, reframed within a new cultural and political context.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Former Courthouse Lehrter Straße\u003Cbr>Staircase, 1st floor \u003C/p>\u003Cp>June 15, 2025, 6 pm\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>See the full program for June and July on the \u003Cu>\u003Ca href=\"https://13.berlinbiennale.de/en/program/calendar\">website\u003C/a>\u003C/u> of the 13th Berlin Biennale. \u003Cbr>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Exhibition Companion\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The publication accompanying the 13th Berlin Biennale contains information on the artists as well as additional texts on the curatorial concept and the venues of the 13th Berlin Biennale.

Since its first edition in 1998, the Berlin Biennale has consistently presented a large part of its program at KW. Established in 1991 in a dilapidated margarine factory, KW has since become a home for progressive artistic practices. It played a crucial role in positioning Berlin as an internationally relevant location for contemporary art following the fall of the Berlin Wall. KW’s work is driven by the urgent questions of our time, shaping its approach to the production, presentation, and mediation of contemporary art. Without a permanent collection, KW maintains the flexibility and openness to respond to the present and to develop a program attuned to contemporary realities. While internationally recognized, KW remains deeply rooted in its local context.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>KW Institute for Contemporary Art\u003Cbr>Auguststraße 69\u003Cbr>10117 Berlin\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Sophiensæle\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Since its founding in 1996, \u003Ca href=\"https://sophiensaele.com/en\" target=\"_blank\">Sophiensæle\u003C/a> has been one of the most important venues for the independent performing arts scene in Berlin and beyond. For the 13th Berlin Biennale, the building that houses Sophiensæle today, becomes a “blueprint for Berlin”, encapsulating the city’s transformations throughout the 20th century. The building’s history not only reflects the rise of forces of Social Democracy and workers’ associations as well as their suppression under the Nazi dictatorship, but also the reimagining of democratic principles and the way artists occupied spaces in the city’s re-emerging center. \u003Cbr>Built as the clubhouse of the Berlin craftsmen’s association between 1904 and 1905, the building was originally dedicated to the education of workers, but soon developed into a hub for the revolutionary Left. Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, Erich Mühsam, and Clara Zetkin spoke here, with Erich Mühsam warning against the rise of fascism as early as the 1920s. After the Nazi’s seizure of power, the craftsmen’s association was quickly banned and its clubhouse shut down. Some years later, the rooms of Sophiensæle—particularly the Festsaal—were exploited as a forced labor camp to produce propaganda leaflets for the fascist regime. Remnants of this are still visible on the Sophiensæle walls today. \u003Cbr>In the GDR years, the stage workshops of the Maxim Gorki Theater occupied the space until, in the autumn of 1996, Sasha Waltz and Jochen Sandig, together with Jo Fabian, Holger Zebu Kluth and Dirk Cieslak, reimagined Sophiensæle as an independent theater—by artists, for artists. Since then, Sophiensæle has become a platform for contemporary performing arts, embracing diverse artistic practices beyond genre boundaries and showcasing both emerging and established voices, with a blend of local and international perspectives.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Sophiensæle\u003Cbr>Sophienstraße 18\u003Cbr>10178 Berlin\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.smb.museum/en/museums-institutions/hamburger-bahnhof/home/\" target=\"_blank\">Hamburger Bahnhof\u003C/a> was founded as the Contemporary Art Museum of the Nationalgalerie collection in Berlin in 1996. Its name and structure point back to the building’s original purpose: It was first opened in 1846 as the terminus for the Hamburg-Berlin railway. However, the growing traffic volume in the early 20th century forced its closure after just 40 years, and it was repurposed as a museum for transport and construction in 1906. During World War II, the former station was damaged by air raids and battles for Berlin’s city center in April and May 1945. When Germany was divided during the post-war period, the former train station remained abandoned—a museum entirely without visitors—until the Berlin Senate acquired the building in 1984. Following extensive renovations in the mid-1990s, Hamburger Bahnhof reopened as home of the Nationalgalerie collection. Today, the museum collects contemporary art as the Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart and shows special exhibitions as well as presentations of the collection.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart\u003Cbr>Invalidenstraße 50\u003Cbr>10557 Berlin\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Former Courthouse Lehrter Straße \u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The former Courthouse Lehrter Straße has been vacant since 2012 and is being made accessible for the first time as a site for contemporary art in Berlin in the context of the 13th Berlin Biennale.\u003Cbr>The brick building was completed in 1902 as an extension to the Northern Military Prison on Lehrter Straße and is connected to the prison building at Lehrter Straße 61 by a bridge, which was referred to by prisoners as the “bridge of sighs”, inspired by the Venetian bridge of the same name. \u003Cbr>One of the most famous trials held here was the 1916 trial against Karl Liebknecht. Liebknecht was arrested for taking part in an anti-war demonstration, initially transferred to the adjacent prison, and sentenced to several years of imprisonment. After his release, Liebknecht gave one of his first speeches at Sophiensæle. \u003Cbr>Later, the building complex served as a military training center and, with the reintroduction of military courts by the NSDAP, as a Wehrmacht investigative prison. Bullet holes in the facade suggest that fierce battles between the German Wehrmacht and the Red Army must have taken place here. After the war, the complex was located in West German territory. In 1950, the prison administration moved into the courthouse building, and the adjacent prison was used as a women’s prison until the mid-1980s. Renowned inmates included members of the Red Army Faction. Poor prison conditions, among other factors, resulted in protests, escape attempts, and breakouts, with employees resigning in solidarity. \u003Cbr>The building was last used as a branch of the Tiergarten District Court. In preparation for the 13th Berlin Biennale, the structure of the offices will not be changed. They continue to bear witness of the conditions of justice.\u003Cbr>The Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion plans to subsequently develop the building into an artistic production venue for Berlin’s independent art scene.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Former Courthouse Lehrter Straße\u003Cbr>Lehrter Straße 60\u003Cbr>10557 Berlin\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Press images are available on our website.

The mind encounters otherness, but does not move on to associative thought chains—or prejudice. This encounter has less to do with the human identifying with the fox, but of entering a new sphere of equality with it.”\u003C/p>\u003Cp>Further information is now available on the website of the 13th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>The visual identity of the upcoming Berlin Biennale is developed by Enver Hadzijaj.

He wrote and performed this work in 1975 as a sharp critique and analysis of the power relations within the global art system. Todosijević exposes the structural positions these relations occupy—the roles, functions, and economic interests, defining art as a permanent site of conflict, embedded in the politics of its context. In her performance, Tomić builds on this foundation by using space and language to expose the evolving roles, struggles, and dynamics within today’s art system, adding new positions in response to contemporary realities. Her work reflects the shifts in the art world under the pressure of global neoliberal capitalism and the rise of oligarchic technocracy, revealing how class struggle continues to manifest within art.\u003C/p>",{"id":264,"uuid":265,"url":266,"alt":8},"bb13_kw_-milicatomic_encounters_eikewalkenhorst_2025_web02.jpg","file://7eaWVXu6RK8QzN4F","https://13api-live.berlinbiennale.de/public/media/site/018616c629-1753450459/bb13_kw_-milicatomic_encounters_eikewalkenhorst_2025_web02.jpg",{"id":268,"title":154,"url":269,"slug":270,"format":157,"programTitle":158,"programSubtitle":159,"programLocation":271,"otherLocation":8,"programSchedule":273,"description":170,"thumbnailCaption":8,"thumbnail":171},"programm/kalender/the-beggars-convention-2","https://13api-live.berlinbiennale.de/public/en/program/calendar/the-beggars-convention-2","the-beggars-convention-2",[272],{"id":162,"title":163,"uri":162},[274],{"id":166,"programDay":167,"programTimeStart":186,"programTimeEnd":187},{"id":276,"title":277,"url":278,"slug":279,"format":157,"programTitle":280,"programSubtitle":281,"programLocation":282,"otherLocation":8,"programSchedule":284,"description":289,"thumbnailCaption":8,"thumbnail":290},"programm/kalender/mila-panic-carmen-chraim-big-mouth","Mila Panić with Carmen Chraim, Big Mouth, 2025","https://13api-live.berlinbiennale.de/public/en/program/calendar/mila-panic-carmen-chraim-big-mouth","mila-panic-carmen-chraim-big-mouth","\u003Cp>Mila Panić with Carmen Chraim\u003C/p>","\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Big Mouth\u003C/em>, 2025\u003C/p>",[283],{"id":181,"title":182,"uri":181},[285],{"id":166,"programDay":286,"programTimeStart":287,"programTimeEnd":288},"2025-07-31","20:30:00","21:30:00","\u003Cp>Over the course of six nights, Mila Panić performs 45 minutes of stand-up comedy, each night joined by a local Berlin-based comedian doing a shorter set.
