Munich / Berlin. The 6th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, curated by Kathrin Rhomberg, will be held in Berlin from 11th June to 8th August. The project, which is being initiated by KW Institute for Contemporary Art under the directorate of Gabriele Horn, is funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation. Within the framework of this event, BMW will be involved in the curatorial workshop Real Players and during the opening days will provide not only a shuttle service for travel to exhibition venues located in various districts of Berlin, but also production vehicles.

Following the success of the curatorial workshops held at the 4th and 5th Berlin Biennales, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, supported by the Goethe-Institut e. V. Munich, the Allianz Cultural Foundation and BMW, will also organise the curatorial workshop Real Players for 13 young international curators being held on the occasion of the 6th Berlin Biennale. From 5th to 15th June, workshops, seminars and discussions as well as visits to exhibitions and studios will contribute towards advancing the careers of the up-and-coming curators.
