8th Moscow
International
Biennale
for Young Art
the main project of the biennale
has been postponed to 2023 we remain excited to see you and will get back to you with specific dates later!
The Moscow International Biennale for Young Art is a large-scale project in the field of contemporary art held in Russia since 2008. The Biennale seeks to discover new names, support and stimulate creative initiatives of the new generation of artists and curators, create a stage for their public statements and, as a result, develop the environment for the Russian contemporary art and enhance its integration into international context.
The Moscow International Biennale for Young Art is organized by one of its founders - the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and is initiated by the Moscow Department of Culture. The biennale was born out of two projects devoted to young art, the festival Qui Vive? held by the National Center for Contemporary Art from 2002 to 2006, and the exhibition Workshops, held annually by MMOMA starting from 2001. Developing rapidly, the project looks for new ways to support young art, inviting cultural institutions, which act in tune with the biennale’s mission, to collaborate, and working with the city infrastructure.
The 8th Moscow International Biennale for Young Art consists of the Main Project, Special Projects, an Educational Program, a Parallel Program, and a Portfolio Review Program aimed at supporting young artists from the regions of Russia.
The Young Art Biennale is not simply an exhibition happening once in two years. It is a continuous process, aimed at bringing attention to new names, new problems and forms of art, and building new connections, which goes on regardless of the event program and seeks to develop a system of support and promotion for young artists.

Letter from the Expert Board
of the 8th Moscow International
Biennale for Young Art
In 2022, the Main Project of the Biennale will take place in the building of MMOMA located at 25 Petrovka Street. A curator, or a group of curators, has freedom to choose any topic. The project can be supposed to take the whole exhibition space of the museum building, as well as its part – a floor, a hall, corridors, or a courtyard. However, the creation of a large-scale project taking up the whole of the MMOMA building is preferable to a group of separate narratives. For that reason, one of the significant evaluation criteria will be a project’s ability to change, depending on the characteristics of the exhibition space, and adapt to various formats.
The most relevant today are approaches, that combine flexibility and plasticity, openness and mobility. Fundamentally rejecting any imperative formulations, we would nevertheless like to outline our selection guidelines and preferences:
- Equality of individual and collective applications;
- Use of new, never before exhibited artworks;
- Expressing interest in a laboratory format, work-in-progress practices and transdisciplinary collaborations, both by the applicants and at the level of concepts of the suggested projects;
- Working with the museum’s funds is not obligatory, but it is possible and welcomed, as well as giving emphasis to the peculiarities and history of the location;
- We would especially appreciate a reasonable and sensitive treatment of the local context, as well as inclusion of Russian artists into your project.
At the stage of application, we invite you to independently research the local art scene, while at the stage of a project’s implementation, the expert board, as well as the museum’s staff will be glad to help you with a detailed study of its particular aspects. This is also true of the support we are ready to provide for any research, field, archival, and institutional work, as well as of an opportunity to create artworks on the spot.
In the current situation of global uncertainty and turbulence, we, the members of the Expert Board, believe that the Moscow International Biennale for Young Art will continue to discover new names and acquaint the public with emerging artists – whom the future belongs to. We are opening the call for applications and hope that the 2022 Biennale will reveal new relationship systems and show sensitive reactions to the current reality.
We look forward
to fruitful
collaboration!
