The 3rd Berlin Biennale, which took place from February 14 to April 18, 2004, was centred around three different locations in Berlin: KW Institute for Contemporary Art and for the first time the Martin-Gropius-Bau; the 3rd Berlin Biennale’s film programme was shown in the Kino Arsenal.
The artists, cultural producers, film makers and authors who took part were selected by Ute Meta Bauer on the basis of the structural changes the city has experienced since the end of the East-West conflict. Berlin served as reference point for the presentation of a broad international spectrum of visual, urban, cinematic, performativ and sonic stagings.
The five main themes – divided spatially within the exhibit and thus called “hubs” – on MIGRATION (Hito Steyerl), URBAN CONDITIONS (Jesko Fezer and Axel John Wieder), SONIC SCAPES (The Sonic Team), FASHIONS AND SCENES (Regina Möller) and OTHER CINEMAS (Mark Nash), that were created to a large extent on site, were directly related to the exhibition’s location, Berlin.
For the first time, an extensive film programme was shown three times a week at the Kino Arsenal at Potsdamer Platz. In addition to podium discussions in KW Institute for Contemporary Art there were numerous cooperative events with other cultural institutes in Berlin, like the Heinrich Böll Stiftung, the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, MaerzMusik, Berliner Festspiele and the Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz. The official partnership with the Freunde der Deutschen Kinemathek and the temporary radio project reboot.fm that transmitted a weekly radio programme on the 3rd Berlin Biennale were a further first.
The finale of the 3rd Berlin Biennale was a three-day-long event, Performance Jam, with sound performances, concerts, readings and fashion shows on the last exhibition weekend from April 16 to 18, 2004.
An exhibition catalogue of the 3rd Berlin Biennale with short texts on the various exhibits, a catalogue raisonné and short biographies has been published, in addition to a full-colour catalogue “complex berlin” with over 300 photographs of the artists’ work and ten new essays on Berlin.
The 3rd Berlin Biennale registered around 60,000 visitors; the press catalogue, comprising over 800 reviews, reflects the intense international and national media interest in this artistic event.
