Here Is an Up-to-Date Guide to the Constantly Changing Art Biennial Calendar for 2020 and Beyond
For curators Pirkko Siitari and Taru Tappola, the summer of
2020 was supposed to mark a huge milestone with the debut of
Finland’s Helsinki Biennial. Now, those plans, like so
many others in the art world and beyond, have been completely
recast. They chose to push the inaugural biennial, titled “The Same
Sea,” back by exactly one year. For the jam-packed art calendar,
such changes can have a big domino effect.
Many of the world’s most important visual art events take place
every two or three years, so shifting an entire calendar cycle
means jostling with other events already scheduled. As we explore
in a new feature on these
challenges, biennale organizers who are shuffling dates must at
the same time contend with novel uncertainties regarding travel,
shipping, and large crowds.
Some events are already putting a stake in the ground. Below,
find a guide to the art shows that have new dates based on the
current health conditions; we’ll continue to update as more
information is released.
