Berlin is an appropriate place for this event because of its well-known curators and artists. Organized by KW Institute for Contemporary Art and funded by the [German Federal Cultural Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolack-pavilion), this year’s Berlin Biennale will put past forums to shame. A large part of this year's theme is the relationship between contemporary art and reality.
