Opening Days

In a time haunted by the specters of "lost futures" the biennale harnesses the desire to inhabit a reality different from the one we inherited. Against a backdrop of social and environmental unrest, deep in the pandemic that has fixed our bodies in place and our eyes on screens, Iskra Delta returns from the future to provide a spark for imagining and constructing alternative presents. Collaborators, co-conspirators and other agents whose practices use the power of fiction, speculative design, larping, video games, the internet, pop and emerging technologies, will help her piece together the glimmering splinters of other possible worlds that are already emerging in our midst.

Welcome to the Biennial Archive website!

The new website of the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts has been conceived as an overview of Biennial events from 1955 to the present day. It presents one of the oldest international art events that began with the desire to show a graphic map of the world in Ljubljana. With the introduction of the curatorial approach after 2001, the limitations to a single medium were dispelled and it began to develop into a museum and out-of-museum entity reflecting contemporary art and curatorial practice.

The exhibition From the Biennial Prize Winners Collection: Shifts in the Canon consisted of the works of the prize winners kept in the collection of the International Centre of Graphic Arts.
