Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA)

Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) is a project developped by an independent non profit art centre, Röda Sten Konsthall, in Gothenburg, Sweden. As a platform for the presentation of international contemporary art, the biennial aims to be an important junction between local, national, and international discourses on issues of urgent collective interest. 

Each biennial consists of exhibitions and programme hosted by established art institutions in Gothenburg and the region of West Sweden, by independent initiatives, and in the physical and digital public realm. The biennial fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and often partners organizations active in other fields, that become advisers, hosts and often co-producers of the artworks on view. 

Through workshops, seminars and many more, visitors are invited to meetings with art and dialogue and reflection on questions here and elsewhere. A broad educational art programme engages both children and young people in a variety of activities, workshops and tours at all exhibition spaces of the biennial.

GIBCA has been initiated in 2001 by the Cultural Commitee of the City of Gothenburg, and is currently developped with main support from the City of Göteborg and the Region of West Sweden.
