Original Site
Each work remains where it is made, installed, performed, hosted, carried, projected, or lived.
A decentralized biennial / every place is a venue
New York Biennial
In the age of AI, we need human imagination more than ever!
New York is not the location. New York is the symbol: an open signal for creative humanity, broadcast from wherever each artwork already lives.
The New York Biennial is a new form of exhibition: every accepted work is exhibited in its original place, entered by its artist or institution, and connected through one shared certificate, archive, and human signal.
The Model
Not a place. A planetary exhibition system.
Open Medium
Painting, sound, code, ritual, architecture, film, craft, food, AI, public action, and forms not yet named.
Certificate
Accepted artists and institutions receive an official participation certificate for the biennial archive.
New York Ceremony
Awarded artists are invited to New York for the ceremony, publication, and public recognition.
Featured Work
The Light of Humanity
A shared sky of human light. Exhibited here, connected to its original online home.
Enter the artwork ↗What can be submitted
Any creative work may enter: objects, images, spaces, performances, systems, texts, inventions, ceremonies, and living cultural forms.
Who can submit
Individual artists, collectives, museums, schools, cultural institutions, communities, studios, foundations, and independent organizers.
How the exhibition exists
The work does not need to travel. The biennial recognizes its original context as the exhibition site and connects it to a global map and archive.
Award Path
From local presence to global recognition.
Artists and institutions submit work from anywhere in the world.
Accepted works receive a participation certificate and enter the global archive.
Selected works are reviewed for awards across media, impact, imagination, and humanity.
Awarded artists gather in New York for the ceremony and public announcement.
