Less than two weeks before its opening, the Berlin Biennale, one of Europe’s top recurring art exhibitions, has named the artists set to show in this year’s edition, curated by artist Kader Attia. Titled “Still Present!,” it will kick off on June 11.
This year, the Biennale is likely to be seen by even more people than usual at its start, since its opening roughly coincides with the Swiss edition of the fair Art Basel and the beginning of Documenta, a quinquennial in the German city of Kassel.

Attia’s biennial will take as its theme “the legacies of modernity and the resulting state of planetary emergency,” according to a description supplied by the Berlin Biennale. In addition to new works from some of today’s top artists, it will feature historical documents.
Issues related to decolonization, feminism, and restitution will be considered by the participants. According to Attia, among the questions being mulled by these artists is a particularly epic one: “Can the field of emotion be reclaimed through art?”
