INTERN WANTED

06.01.2025 / Biennale für Freiburg

CALL FOR INTERNSHIPS
March - August 2025

From June 6 to July 27, 2025, the third edition of the Biennale für Freiburg will take place in the Kunstverein Freiburg, the Museum für Neue Kunst, the Schauinslandbahn and other indoor and outdoor spaces. The Biennale explores the symbolism of Freiburg as the “South of Germany” and questions the economics of wanderlust and the semiotics of the picturesque. The intention is to explore the political and social implications of the touristic ritual through artistic interventions. The focus is on an examination of the realities that prevail in a place whose perception is shaped by its tourist appeal and codified in stereotypical images.
The Biennale für Freiburg 3 is looking for a full-time intern (40h/week) for 6 months starting in March, who would like to gain experience in the organization and realization of a biennial and artistic events.
The internship covers the preparation, construction, duration and follow-up of the exhibition and the supporting program.

The internship is remunerated with EUR/CHR 500 per month.
Submission deadline: February 03, 2025

Artistic Director Biennale für Freiburg 3

11.03.2024 / Biennale für Freiburg

LORENA JUAN ANNOUNCED AS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE BIENNALE FÜR FREIBURG 3

The association Perspektiven für Kunst in Freiburg e.V. is pleased to announce the appointment of Spanish-born, Germany-based curator Lorena Juan as Artistic Director and Managing Director of the third edition of the Biennale für Freiburg, which will take place in the summer of 2025. She succeeds Paula Kommoss, the director of the previous edition.

“For the Biennale für Freiburg 3, I would like to work with artists who uncover and question the global geopolitical entanglements and social power relations inherent in travel and the process of touristification, among others. The focus will be on the social, ecological and symbolic realities of ‘the South.’ I myself come from a touristified ‘South,’ and Freiburg embodies ‘the South of Germany’ for many—a popular destination both nationally and internationally.”
— Lorena Juan

In her curatorial practice, she works with experimental formats, public space and collaborative processes. As a researcher, Lorena Juan focuses on practices in art and activism that emerge from queer feminist collectivity.

Lorena Juan has curated exhibitions, event series and screenings in Berlin at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Akademie der Künste, Schwules Museum, nGbK and Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, among others, and has been the exhibition curator of the transmediale festival since 2020. She is co-founder of Coven Berlin, a queer feminist online platform for embodied affective research and hybrid artistic approaches focusing on the intersection of environment, migration, class and gender. To date, she has collaborated with artists such as Larry Achiampong, Sung Tieu, Patricia Domínguez, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Tianzhuo Chen, Ming Wong, Tabitha Rezaire, Anna Uddenberg, Anna Ehrenstein, Sunny Pfalzer, Suzanne Treister, Nora Al-Badri, Kandis Williams, Melanie Jame Wolf and Nicole L’Huillier.

Since 2020 she has been co-curator of Kunst im Untergrund, an open, international program of art in public space as part of the nGbK in Berlin. She has taught at the Berlin University of the Arts and the University of Hildesheim.
