The Kitsch Biennale 2008
The Kitsch Biennale will be held in Pasinger Fabrik, which is a culture house directed by the city of Münich. Several exhibitions of figurative painting have been held on the premises, and there is a gallery space of more than 540 square meters (4843 square feet). Pasing is a part of Munich, about 10 minutes with a train from Marienplatz in center city. Pasinger Fabrik is an early 20th century building, and in addition to 540 square meters of exhibition space there is a separate restaurant, a bar, and a small theater where WWK will present theatre plays. Please see Pasinger Fabrik for pictures and more information about the venue (information only in German).
The Kitsch Biennale was originally an annual event, however, WorldWideKitsch has decided to turn the Kitsch Annual into a biennale exhibition. The Kitsch Annual 2006 (in Norway) created so much attention, nationally and internationally, that we decided to launch the event on a bigger scale. A larger scope and ambition demands more time and space, and we therefore decided that a biennale was the more appropriate format. We are thrilled to present the Kitsch Biennale 2008 at the Pasinger Fabrik, in Münich, Gemany!
