From Kassel to Kathmandu, here are the events that people will be talking about.
Caroline Goldstein, January 7, 2022
You never know these days, but 2022 is still shaping up to be a year chock full of art events. From Mali to Morocco, Cleveland to Canada, biennials and triennials are returning to the main stage. It will be truly interesting to see what the new normal looks like at such big international art surveys.
A roster of heavy hitters are set to unleash long-planned events this year, including High Line director Cecilia Alemani taking the reigns at the so-called "Art Fair Olympics" in Venice, and the Indonesian artist collective ruangrupa helming the Kassel-based quinquennial exhibition for documenta 15.
Below, here's our calendar of big events that are set to be the talk of the international art world this year.
