Produced in conjunction with the National Museum in Szczecin, the Baltic Contemporary Art Biennale has taken place in Szczecin (Poland), Visby (Sweden), and Riga (Latvia) since its inception in 1995. More than 300 artists, performers and musicians have participated in the Biennale’s eight iterations, which have featured collected, site-specific and newly commissioned works in equal measure. Accompanying seminars and conference programs are aimed at drawing artists, curators, critics, collectors, institutional directors, politicians and the general public together, enabling exchanges of ideas and information on topics relevant to each exhibition’s curatorial theme, with catalogues documenting featured artists and their works published in conjunction with each event.
