Athens Biennale

Athens Biennale functions as an observatory of collective issues and as a platform for the designation of the contemporary culture of the Athenian metropolis, promoting experimental formats and various curatorial approaches as well as connecting the local artistic production with the international art scene of contemporary art. It is organised by the Athens Biennial Non-Profit Organization, which was co-founded by Xenia Kaplaktsoglou, Poka-Yio, and Augustine Zenakos in November 2005. Until now it has presented seven editions: AB1: DESTROY ATHENS (2007) • AB2: HEAVEN (2009) • AB3: MONODROME (2011) • AB4: AGORA (2013) • AB5to6: OMONOIA (2015 – 2017) • AB6: ANTI (2018) • AB7: ECLIPSE (2021).
