Color variety and art from 32 countries: the Ostral Biennale starts!

Color variety and art from 32 countries: the Ostral Biennale starts!

On June 7, 2025, Dresden becomes a hotspot of contemporary art, because the Ostral Biennale opens its doors. In the former Robotron canteen, an architectural example of the East Modernue, a colorful range of works of art from 32 nations is presented under the motto "Never Gray". The Biennale event attracts artists and art lovers from all over the world and shows that colors play a central role in our nature and life. This is also emphasized by Andrea Hilger, the head of the Ostral.

Over 100 creative minds exhibit their works, including the video work "Down Under" by the Finnish artist Marcus Lervik. This will not only impress with impressive images, but also addresses the contrast between the calming sounds of nature and the hectic city noise. Another highlight is the large -format still lifes by the artist Leoš Suchan, which represents waste in a contemporary painting style. Curator Veronika Krülle Kotoucova indicates the symbolism of still life and links it to the reality of today's throw -away society.

art and politics combined

The Biennale not only brings impressive works of art, but also political issues. The Israeli curator Drorit Gur Arie shows works that carry diverse voices from the Middle East to Dresden. In the work of the exhibitors there are often critical arguments with current social challenges, which enables visitors to deal with explosive topics.

An exciting aspect is the decision to also use the Bautzner Strasse memorial as a branch. This underlines the cultural and historical context that the Biennale brings with it. The different exhibition walls in different colors are not only an aesthetic element, but also serve to optimally bring out the works of art.

interactive offers and diverse programs

The Ostral Biennale is not only a place of consideration, but also of active experience. In addition to the main exhibition, other programs are planned that deal with the topic of nature. The interactive installation "Nature Area Natur" will be opened next year on June 7, 2024, which was designed and visited especially for people with special needs in the area of ​​hearing and seeing.

Overall, the Ostral Biennale O25 takes place from June 7 to October 5, 2025 and promises exciting experiences for all those interested in art. The event is thus part of a number of important art binals that celebrate art and culture worldwide. For example, the Berlin Biennale, which takes place every two years and stimulates artistic discussions in politically challenging times, as can be read on Visitberlin.de

The Ostral is a fascinating space for contemporary art and communication and not only promotes the presentation, but also the exchange of contemporary art. The long wait was worth it - get ready for a colorful time and exciting insights into the world of contemporary art!
