Berlin Biennale 2 - A biennale or a brand

Abstract

The hype generated for the "2. Berlin Biennale" has been enormous; especially as there was some uncertainty as to whether it would happen at all, having been once postponed for financial reasons (which makes this in fact a triennale) and then prepared in a rush and in secret. It is another attempt to place Berlin on the contemporary art map, if not permanently then at least every two years or so.
