Prague Biennale celebrates its 10th anniversary with its 6th edition, which presents the current artistic tendencies in both central Europe and worldwide from June 6 to September 15, 2013.

Prague Biennale is based at the functionalist railway station from 1936, designed by Karel Caivas and Vladimír Weiss, in the vibrant district of Žižkov – the only freight railway station in the Czech Republic, which was recently pronounced as a national monument in March 2013.

Highlights of this year’s show will include:

- Expanded Painting
Curated by Helena Kontova, Giancarlo Politi and Nicola Trezzi, which presents an international selection of contemporary painting.

- Flow
This year, the former section of Prague Biennale dedicated to Czech contemporary art expands to an international context. The curators of the section are Zuzana Blochová and Patricia Talacko.

- Beyond the Art
The Slovak section, curated by Mira Sikorová-Putišová, will present work by a selection of renowned Slovak artists who predominantly live abroad. Their interactive and relational work is centred on social issues.

- Homage to Miroslav Tichý
Curated by Roman Buxbaum.

- Prague Biennale Photo 3
Prague Biennale Photo 3 is titled Photography, Reconstructed and curated by Pavel Vančát. It aims to capture the current non-figurative tendencies, as reactions to the decline of modern photography. Instead of simply capturing reality, the exhibited artists work with the deconstruction and reconstruction of the modernist photographic image.
