The crack begins within

Alternate Titles

• Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, Sept. 5-Nov. 1, 2020

Description

The slow opening of the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art began in September 2019, and since then it has been exploring the many cracks we carry, the fissures that keep us apart and those that bring us together. As the epilogue of the biennial The Crack Begins Within calls out the fallacy of claiming for oneself the destruction of the old and the birthing of the new, refloated so many times by the white fathers as a new scaffolding to secure the continuity of their decaying structures. This is the violence that surrounds us, and that we are part of. The Crack Begins Within comprises the overlapping experiences of the artworks gathered here, breathing together, touching and moving one another. It is a testament to the powerful collective stories they tell, the work they do, and the things they shatter.00Since September 2019, the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art has been unfolding in several successive parts. The fourth part runs from September 5 to November 1, 2020. It was originally scheduled from June 13 to September 13, 2020, but had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.00This is the Guidebook accompanying the 11.
