2021 Biennial
Since 2008, the Borås Art Museum has organised the Borås International Sculpture Biennial. In 2021 Borås is celebrating the 400th anniversary of its founding. In conjunction with the festivities, the Biennial will be expanded to include other artistic media and is changing its name to the Borås Art Biennial. Welcome between May 29 to September 26.
Sites
The artworks will be exhibited in public spaces throughout the downtown area, along the Viskan River, and at the Borås Art Museum and the Textile Museum of Sweden.
Theme
The 2021 Biennial is curated by Stockholm-based Ulrika Flink and London-based Amanprit Sandhu. The Biennial will invite Swedish and international artists to consider what new forms of collective action might look like in today’s world and to explore what constitutes a city’s emotional relationships and social structures.
