OPEN CALL FOR DIRECTOR OF THE BERLIN BIENNALE
Closed

Since its founding in 1996, the Berlin Biennale has become one of the most important international forums for contemporary art. The Berlin Biennale takes place every two years at varying locations in Berlin and is defined by the unique concepts of its changing curators. The Berlin Biennale enables the curators responsible to create space for experimental formats and progressive curatorial and artistic practices. As the only Biennale of its kind in Germany, it brings together influential and topical positions of artists, theorists, and practitioners in exhibitions and accompanying programs with each edition and enables them to enter into a dialogue with the city of Berlin and its inhabitants. Through its political profile, the Berlin Biennale, now with twelve editions, is synonymous with engaged art that addresses the pressing issues of the present.

 

The Berlin Biennale seeks an experienced, resilient, and self-confident leader who represents the institution externally and ensures the further development and future viability of the Biennale with a compelling vision.

 

Applicants should have far-reaching, well-developed networks as well as extensive knowledge in the field of contemporary art. They will have a proven track record of managing national and international exhibition projects with numerous artists, commissioning artworks, and implementing educational programs.

 

The applicant’s profile includes sound knowledge of fundraising at regional, national, and international levels, including several years of practical experience in acquiring and handling public funding, sponsorship, cooperation, and donations.

 

Applicants must also have excellent communication skills in German and English, including speaking in public, representing the content and interests of the respective edition of the Berlin Biennale, and acting as its ambassador.

 

The position of director will be filled by July 1, 2024. Deadline to apply: February 24, 2024.
