The 2024 Jerusalem Biennale exploring the way art functions in our homes, offices and studios, while creating new ways of sharing art in private space and expanding the art experience beyond public and semi-public spaces.
The theme of the 6th Biennale is Iron Flock, a literal translation of the Hebrew phrase Tzon Barzel. The theme allowed for the exploration of the foundations of contemporary culture and to identify, through the eyes of curators and artists from all over the world, the movements, ideas, people, and moments that have become our unsaleable cultural assets. It also gave voice to serious recognition of Jewish and Israeli women artists.
Under the title of Spring Biennale, Jerusalem venues will host 30 exhibitions with the participation of more than 200 renowned artists and curators from all over the world. There’s a rich events program taking place in all gallery spaces during the Biennale.
The Spring Biennale is an opportunity to mark more than a decade of creativity and collaboration, and to acknowledge the devoted patrons and partners that have helped position The Jerusalem Biennale as the largest platform in the world for contemporary Jewish art.
The Spring Biennale will take place in more than 20 venues around Jerusalem, including the historic Sha’arei Tzedek building on Jaffa Road, the home of the Jerusalem Biennale, Heichal Shlomo Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, The U. Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art, Museum On The Seam, Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, Jerusalem Theater, The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, HaMiffal, Beita Gallery, the Black Box Street Gallery, and others.
