Here Is an Up-to-Date Guide to the Constantly Changing Art Biennial Calendar for 2020 and Beyond

For curators Pirkko Siitari and Taru Tappola, the summer of 2020 was supposed to mark a huge milestone with the debut of Finland’s Helsinki Biennial. Now, those plans, like so many others in the art world and beyond, have been completely recast. They chose to push the inaugural biennial, titled “The Same Sea,” back by exactly one year. For the jam-packed art calendar, such changes can have a big domino effect.

Many of the world’s most important visual art events take place every two or three years, so shifting an entire calendar cycle means jostling with other events already scheduled. As we explore in a new feature on these challenges, biennale organizers who are shuffling dates must at the same time contend with novel uncertainties regarding travel, shipping, and large crowds.

Some events are already putting a stake in the ground. Below, find a guide to the art shows that have new dates based on the current health conditions; we’ll continue to update as more information is released.
