The 6th Biennial will feature works from 32 finalists from across the globe from July 30 to November 24th **extended closing date
“This year marks the 6th international biennial exhibition, sponsored by the Museum of Geometric and MADI art, which illustrates that the geometric idiom in contemporary art is as resilient as ever. When the biennial call initially went out to artists, it was unclear whether the exhibition would happen at all, let alone in person due to Covid restrictions. For over a year now, artists around the world have had to adjust their studio practices, rearrange their lives, and rethink their work. For some this has been an introspective time taking stock of their practice, for others and their family, it has been personally traumatic; still others found new impetus for taking risks in new directions and media, and for a great many others, it has not radically changed their daily solitary studio routine. Regardless of how artists experienced the pandemic, those who answered the 2021 Biennial call did so with bold work and profound imagination.”
