Biennale

An international art exhibition held in Venice regularly since 1895, and imitated at Paris, Tokyo, and elsewhere. It was originally conservative, but since 1948 has been a major showcase for the avant garde.

The most important Biennale is an art exhibition that takes place for three months in Venice — the Venice Biennale — but there are numerous others:

Singapore Biennale, held in various locations across the city-state island of Singapore CAFKA, Canadian Biennale of Contemporary Art Biennale de l'An 3000 Sao Paulo Manifesta, European Biennale of contemporary art in different European cities Berlin Biennale, international exposition of contemporary art in Berlin Bucharest Biennale in Bucharest, Romania Münchener Biennale, international festival for new music theatre in Munich Internationale Architektur Biennale in Rotterdam Biennale of Sydney Bienal de São Paulo in Sao Paulo Mostra di Architettura di Venezia, International bi-annual Architecture Exhibition in Venice Moscow Biennale in Moscow (Russia) Liverpool Biennial Kwangju Biennale in Kwangju (also spelled Gwangju), South Korea Ljubljana Graphic Biennale in Ljubljana, Slovenia Tirana Biennale, in Tirana, Albania Istanbul Biennial, in Istanbul, Turkey Biennale of Iranian Graphic Designers, in Tehran, Iran Biennale of Miniature Art, in Czestochowa, Poland Göteborg International Biennial For Contemporary Art Sweden Vancouver Sculpture Biennale, in Vancouver (Canada)
